Indiana Green Invitational is an annual exhibit and has gained the attention of artists throughout the Midwest by introducing a diverse body of work and artists to varying venues and areas in Wisconsin.  The exhibit is held in a different venue each year, and this year Rountree Gallery is delighted to host works that are significant today in our Midwest contemporary art landscape.

Indiana Green Invitational is an annual group exhibition featuring 2-D and 3-D works by artists living and working in Wisconsin. The first Indiana Green was curated by Frank Juárez in Sheboygan, Wisconsin (2010) to recognize artists that supported him as an artist. What was supposed to be a one-year exhibition gradually grew into an annual exhibition gaining the attention of artists in Wisconsin. Since 2017, Indiana Green Invitational has been traveling across the state of Wisconsin with a new roster of artists. To date, it has featured 90 artists. 

Every year Indiana Green Invitational introduces a diverse body of work by artists working from such as but not limited to: paintings, mixed media, sculpture, printmaking, installation, textiles, glass, and photography. This exhibition features works that are significant today in Wisconsin’s contemporary art landscape. 

In 2023, Indiana Green Invitational expands to include artists from Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, and Minnesota.

TMA Contemporary shares what is at the forefront of Wisconsin’s visual art landscape today. The exhibit takes the temperature of what’s being created now and embraces all forms of art media, ideas, and voices.

Each year, TMA asks all Wisconsin artists working in any medium to apply. Jurors select work based on artistic quality and innovative ideas. Artists may draw unique inspiration from the world around them, societal influences, personal experience, the environment, beauty, and their imagination. This year, TMA Contemporary displays 112 works from over 1,000 submitted artworks.

Jurors: Frank Juarez, Riley Niemack, and Christina Turner

MIAD Gallery at The Ave provides a supportive space for Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design students, alumni, faculty, and staff to show and sell their work in the heart of downtown Milwaukee. The gallery will hold both exhibitions and a rotating inventory of artwork, crafted goods, and more.

From This Point Forward features MIAD alumni representing nearly five decades of creative learning.

The inspiration for the exhibition title is a tagline used by the Layton School of Art during the 1970s: “from this point forward.” Although the Layton School of Art ultimately closed, from it was born the Milwaukee School of the Arts and ultimately the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design (MIAD) – illustrating the tagline’s bold, optimistic and accurate prediction of the enduring commitment to fostering and nurturing creative careers. Several decades later, this passion and dedication to art and design education continues within the practices of the varied alumni who move through this space. Today, we are proud to present MIAD alumni in our inaugural exhibition at MIAD Gallery at The Ave, an historic new chapter in the college’s legacy.

Public Opening + Reception

Thursday, April 6, 6-8pm

Miller Art Museum in downtown Sturgeon Bay is set to unveil its 47th Juried Annual, an exhibition featuring 70 artworks from 52 artists across the state of Wisconsin, on September 17, 2022. An opening reception celebrating these Wisconsin artists is scheduled for Saturday, September 17 from 5pm - 6:30pm. Awards are scheduled to be announced at 6pm and include three special Merit Awards ($250 each), three Juror’s Choice Awards ($200 each), the Gerhard Miller Award of Excellence ($500 and Miller Medal), and the Bonnie Hartmann Award for Outstanding Creativity ($100). Light refreshments will be served and music will be provided by Craig Schultz. The event is free and open to the public.

In continuation of this celebrated museum tradition, now in its 47th year, this year’s exhibition is broader and more diverse than ever with submissions representing every corner of the state. Each submitted entry was carefully evaluated and the final selections were made by a panel of three artists and art industry professionals. This year’s jurors were Frank Juarez, founder and publisher of Artdose Magazine, Sheboygan, WI; Brandon Bauer, associate professor of art at St. Norbert College, De Pere, WI; Meg Lionel Murphy, artist and owner of The Hours Gallery, Sturgeon Bay, WI.

Woman Made Gallery (WMG) is pleased to present “Moments Like This,” a group exhibition juried by Jessica Bingham featuring the work of 42 women and non-binary artists exploring the need to pause, process what we have collectively gone through in the last two years, and move at the speed of humanity rather than the speed of production. 

In her jurors’ statement, Jessica Bingham writes: “The women and non-binary artists in this exhibition are healers, caretakers, activists, collectors, and noticers—they shine a light on the moments that we often are too busy to cherish or learn from. The stories that inform the work in Moments Like This pierced my soul and made it abundantly clear that the slow movement has made significant waves in our fast-past society. It is also evident that the pandemic and fight for social justice in our country has influenced the work of every single artist in this exhibition. From having time to be present with oneself to illustrating the emotional weight we carry to the empowerment of our collective voices, these artists passionately and carefully ask us to pause and reflect with them. Some of these artists have been implementing slow living for many years, while others have recently rediscovered their self-worth through questioning ideas of “success”—all of which tap into the gravity of well-being. Through their vast practices, including time-based methods, quilting, painting, installation, collecting, and video, they challenge the norm of productivity, power, and presence.”

Northern Michigan University’s DeVos Art Museum is hosting its 14th Annual North of the 45th juried exhibition for artists living north of the 45th parallel in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. The show runs through Friday, July 30. A closing reception is scheduled that night at 6 p.m., followed by a 7 p.m. talk by this year’s juror, Ron Platt, chief curator at the Grand Rapids Art Museum.

The 45th parallel, known as the halfway point between the equator and the North Pole, is often associated with being “up north.” The exhibition showcases the breadth and depth of artists living in this upper Midwest region from both rural and urban areas.

Artists featured in the 2021 show are: Deborah Abramson, Tamama Dance Company, Jaron Childs, Linda King Ferguson, Andy Gregg, Dorothy Anderson Grow, Lindsy Halleckson, Rachel Hausmann Schall, Nicole Havekost, Lindsey Heiden, Susan Hensel, Matt Hirvonen, Carol Irving, James Klueg, Ashley Kolka-Lee, Dodie Logue, Daniel Martin, Joshua Masserang, Kim Matthews, Stephanie Mosteller, Ben Pawlowski, Jeanne Houle Peters, Carol Phillips, Linda Powers, Russell Prather, Chris Rackley, Paul Rose, Grant Ryan, Steve Schmeck, Jason Schneider, Corrie Steckelberg, Cameron Wilcox, Matthew Winkler, Kaelyn Wright and Cameron Zebrun.

“Affix & Repeat” is an exhibition of collages by artist, writer, and educator Rachel Hausmann Schall. Her works will be on view in the window bays at The Real Tinsel May 7-May 30th, 2021.

Rachel Hausmann Schall’s latest body of work was created with various printmaking, painting, and drawing techniques. Her monochromatic color palette emphasizes the diversity of mark-marking and combination of mediums employed in her collage-based practice.

Through her use of mono-printing, photocopying, drawing, and collage, Rachel Hausmann Schall displays bold, experimental and intuitive compositions that are unafraid to be present.

There will be a closing reception on Friday, May 28th, 5-8pm.

Make Time Waste Time is a site-specific sculptural intervention created by artist Rachel Hausmann Schall. The project is a reflection on the necessity of time spent. It infers a dual meaning that pushes us to ponder how we fill the minutes in our days. It begs us to consider how we prioritize responsibilities and helps us realize the consequences of “wasting” or “making”

The Terrain Biennial is unlike any other art festival. It takes place on lawns, in front yards, on porches, beneath awnings, and in windows. Residents partner with artists to bring striking, contemporary artwork into their communities. The Terrain Biennial challenges the way art is often confined to institutional spaces and class-specific audiences. Building on Chicago’s rich tradition of apartment galleries and artist-run spaces, the Biennial brings contemporary art into the intimate terrain of the front yard, fostering dialogue between neighbors and providing access to new art for a wide range of people.
