The meeting will begin with our keynote speaker, Annemarie Sawkins, co-author of A Creative Place: The History of Wisconsin Art. Followed by a brief update of WI Craft news. Afterwards, we will begin our "social", giving everyone the opportunity to meet other makers in the state. Members will be separated into two breakout sessions. First to meet other makers in their media field and then into regional groups around the state.

A Creative Place: The History of Wisconsin Art

Annemarie and fellow art scholar Tom Lidtke, a former art instructor and artist who has spent three decades leading museums and chronicling Wisconsin’s rich art history, are co-authors of the newly published book, A Creative Place: The History of Wisconsin Art.

In celebration of the publication of their new book, the Cedarburg Art Museum is hosting The History of Wisconsin Art Exhibition: A Creative Place. This exhibition will continue through May 8, 2022.
