Museum of Wisconsin Art Presentation by Tom Lidtke

The director of the Museum of Wisconsin Art gave a presentation at the AC Art Association last night. The MWA in West Bend has a lot of interesting ongoing projects.

See http://www.wisconsinart.org/ for current Exhibitions & New building plans. MWA promotes Wisconsin art and have been doing outreach this year to Wisconsin Art groups for inclusion in the MWA. In the new building you will be able to walk through Wisconsin art history chronologically, along with viewing permanent and temporary exhibitions. You can also donate to the museum. https://wisconsinart.org/support/donateonline.aspx
