The Program

Each year, VSA Wisconsin solicits artwork from Wisconsin artists with disabilities. From March 17 through April 7, work by all artists who submit to the 2012 Call for Art will be displayed in Visual Expressions: A Call for Art Exhibition. Artists’ submissions are reviewed by a jury of arts professionals who looked for creativity, originality, and craftsmanship. Jurors select ten artworks that will be added to Creative Power: VSA Wisconsin’s Traveling Exhibition.

For more information, call 608-241-2131 or email Project Coordinator.
