The Whitewater Arts Alliance is pleased to invite artists from across Wisconsin to participate in the 2026 Wisconsin Regional Art Program (WRAP) Exhibition in Whitewater. This annual event celebrates the creativity of Wisconsin’s visual artists and offers an encouraging space to share work, learn new skills, and connect with others in the statewide arts community.
The exhibition runs from May 1-May 30, 2026, at the Cultural Arts Center, located at 402 W. Main Street in Whitewater.
Artists working in a variety of media are encouraged to submit their work, including sculpture, acrylic, oil, collage, and other two‑ and three‑dimensional forms. All adult artists are welcome to participate, and each artist may enter up to three pieces. Registration is currently open, and entry forms with payment are due by Sunday, April 26. Artists who prefer to register in person may do so during artwork drop‑off on April 28. Registration info and entry form can be found on whitewaterarts.org
Artwork drop‑off will take place at the Cultural Arts Center on Tuesday, April 28, from 3pm-6pm, and again on Wednesday, April 29, during the same hours. Once installed, the exhibition will be open to the public throughout the month of May, with regular gallery hours running Thursday through Sunday from 12pm-4pm.
As part of the WRAP tradition, participating artists are invited to attend an educational workshop. This year’s session, Perspective Without Fear, will be led by artist Tom Jewell on Saturday, May 2, from 9:00 a.m. to noon. The workshop is free for WRAP participants. Community members who are not exhibiting but wish to attend may register by visiting the gallery or emailing wwartsalliance@gmail.com. The cost for non‑exhibiting attendees is $10, which includes supplies and refreshments. Space is limited.
The celebration continues that same afternoon with the WRAP Awards Reception, held on Saturday, May 2, from 1-3pm. The reception is open to the public and offers an opportunity to meet the artists, enjoy the exhibition, and recognize this year’s award recipients.
