Meet Your Neville Team!

UWGB History major Nathan joined us last school year as part of the Civic Scholars Leadership program, designed to prepare sophomore students to become civic professionals and citizen leaders through sustained interdisciplinary civic engagement and scholarship with a focus on the City of Green Bay. While his love of history initially inspired him to teach, his research tech internship helped him discover a gift for visual storytelling, using artifacts to create interactive displays that help show the progression of innovation through time. You can find his work proudly on exhibit in several Generations Gallery drawers. We're so grateful to have you, Nate!

79th Art Annual

Now open!

The 79th 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. 

Spectacular Science: Weather

Now open!

Unlock the secrets of nature and discover the forces behind weather and natural disasters. The exhibit will engage visitors in the science behind some of Mother Nature’s most dramatic and destructive events. From blizzards to tornadoes, visitors will explore how these phenomena form, how they affect our region, and how people can prepare for them.

We Need YOU for Holiday Fun!

Holiday opportunities are just around the corner too! Bruce the Spruce and the Children Only Shop will open soon, 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 today!
