78th Art Annual

Opening Thursday, October 21

The 78th 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.


The juror for the 78th Art Annual is Emily Schlemowitz. Emily is the Senior Curator at the Wisconsin Museum of Quilts & Fiber Arts (WMQFA), where she curates exhibitions that feature both the historic and contemporary landscape of textiles. Prior to WMQFA, Emily held curatorial and editorial positions at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, The Museum of Modern Art, and the Robert Motherwell Catalogue Raisonné. She has a BA in Studio Art from Smith College and MA in Art History from CUNY, Hunter College. 

Morbid Curiosities: the Exhibit

Now open!

Each October, artifacts are taken from the collection and displayed to the public. These artifacts tell the stories of the people who made and used them, and demonstrate societal and moral changes.

 

The 2023 Morbid Curiosities exhibit was curated by Rose Lemerande, who interned at the Museum from May through August of 2023. She graduated from Preble High School and is starting her bachelor’s degree in Anthropology at UW-Milwaukee this year. 

 

Morbid Curiosities will be on display through November 5, 2023. 

Spectacular Science: Candy Chemistry
