For over a century, what is now Wisconsin Craft has worked to promote crafts persons as artisans who design and produce work of their own hands. The long-running Biennial Exhibition is an opportunity for Wisconsin Craft Members to showcase their most innovative work in a juried gallery setting. 

The Plymouth Arts Center, the leading arts destination in western Sheboygan County, is hosting our exhibit. Located in historic downtown Plymouth, WI, the community non-profit is dedicated to its mission “To enliven the spirit of our community and to enrich the lives of all, by providing diverse experiences in the arts!” 

Wisconsin Craft is excited to have this opportunity for our members to show their work to a wider audience in the East Central region of Wisconsin. Visitors will find a wide range of art media in the Exhibition, much of will be available for purchase through the PAC.
