Follow on Google News | RAM's Wustum Museum Celebrating an Art LegacyRAM will celebrate Wustum's continuing legacy of bringing art to our community and the world for 75 years.
By: Racine Art Museum For decades, Wustum has both embrace, and been embraced by, members of the Racine community. The museum offers exhibitions, classes, and workshops; hosts special events, including weddings on its scenic and inspiring grounds; and, generally, functions as an artistic beacon for the region. Involving working artists--both from the area and beyond--in planning and executing all manner of programs and cultivating fundamental relationships has ensured that Wustum and RAM remain vital. When RAM came into existence in 2003, the role of the artist in institutional development necessarily expanded in need and scope. Artists who have played important roles at Wustum and RAM have done so not just as working artists, but also as teachers, donors, board members, volunteers, committee members, staff, activists, catalysts for large gifts, benefactors, and donors of significant archives. The artists included in this exhibition fulfill two criteria-they have been integral to the evolution of Wustum and RAM in one or more capacities and they are represented in the museum's holdings. A Year of Celebration Many of the exhibitions at Racine Art Museum in 2017 continue the 75th anniversary celebration of RAM's Wustum Museum.
