10:00-11:00 a.m.

Be some of the first people to experience the museum's annual Holiday Memories of Downtown Green Bay exhibit, featuring decorations and figurines from Prange's and other downtown holiday destinations.


SPARK! is a cultural program for people with early to mid-stage memory loss and their care partners. Programs are designed to keep participants actively engaged in their communities by providing experiences that stimulate conversations, provide peer support, and inspire creativity through engaging in museum experiences. SPARK! programs are offered free of charge, but we do ask that you RSVP so we know how many participants to expect.

 

This fall, the Brown County Memory Cafe and SPARK! are working together to offer joint programs at the museum. Please email Ryan with any questions and to RSVP for our upcoming programs. We look forward to seeing you there!

77th Art Annual 

Now open!

The 77th Art Annual exhibit is an all-media, juried exhibition of current artworks produced by artists living in the counties of Northeastern Wisconsin and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.  


This juried art exhibition began in 1942 during the height of World War II. For over three-quarters of a century, many of this region’s most celebrated and talented artists have exhibited their work as part of this Green Bay tradition. This exhibition exhibits the importance and power of visual languages that can be interpreted and reinterpreted. For everything that needs to be said there is a language, and the languages of these artists are eclectic and relevant for the times in which we live. The artists have spoken from their own unique voices utilizing various mediums, subject matter and cultures.

Spectacular Science: Light

Now open!

Explore the science and physics behind light. Interact with experiments that demonstrate exciting concepts from reflection and refraction to how light impacts color. Discover the wonders of light and come check it out!

Calling All Merry Makers!

It's holiday volunteer round-up time! Following the past couple years' virtual and hybrid festivities, we are so excited to start planning our favorite in-person traditions, including Bruce the Spruce and the Children Only Shop, neither of which would be possible without a merry team of volunteers. Have you got extra seasonal spirit to share? Do you speak and sing fluent Spruce? Are you an expert gift-wrapper? Join the fun by filling out an application or emailing Katy for more details today!

Stay safe and stay tuned for updates!
