Watercolor Wisconsin 2020

RAM’s Charles A. Wustum Museum of Fine Arts continues an important Racine tradition with Watercolor Wisconsin 2020. One of Wustum’s most popular shows, Watercolor Wisconsin is an annual statewide competition that has been organized by the museum since 1966. Limited only by their materials—aqueous media such as acrylic and watercolor—artists are free to create two-dimensional and three-dimensional works on paper. Contemporary artists bring both traditional and experimental approaches to the established guidelines, resulting in a varied and dynamic exhibition even 54 years later. This exhibition will be on display at Wustum through April 24, 2021.

Jurors for this year’s show are Victor Armendariz—Founder of Gallery Victor Armendariz, Chicago, Illinois—and Kathy Weaver—an internationally recognized watercolor artist. Armendariz and Weaver considered 168 works submitted by 96 Wisconsin artists, narrowing down the selection to 98 works by 78 artists.
