Submitting Season
Posted on March 20, 2024
Artists face deadlines year-round. From my observation, this time of year brings on the “submitting season.” Artists and art enthusiasts alike can’t miss the open calls.
The Art of Tourism

The Museum’s Marketing and Communication Manager Bryce Cebula and I have been busy attending conference sessions, meeting friends old and new, and learning some valuable tips to incorporate at the Woodson
Visiting Artists Bring Perspective
Posted on March 06, 2024
I recall several impactful critiques with visiting artists in college, similar to the memorable experiences and perspectives that visiting artists bring to the Woodson Art Museum.
Making My Way Around Town
Posted on February 27, 2024
The start of new exhibitions is an exciting, yet busy time for everyone at the Museum. For me, that means new promotional materials need to be ordered, sorted, and distributed throughout the community. In the next few days, I will be spending some time driving around Wausau to hang up new exhibition posters and fill brochure racks with events calendars
A Mayan Adventure

On a recent vacation to Mexico, I had the chance to visit the Mayan port city of Tulum. This was my first opportunity to see the ruins of an ancient civilization, and it did not disappoint. Having a great tour guide always helps…

While on a girl's trip to Austin and San Antonio in Texas, I was able to unlock new experiences to share with folks back home and re-invigorate my desire to explore diverse ways to present experiences to people inside and outside of my community. Each of the experiences were worlds apart but were wonderful reminders that art is in the eye of the beholder.
Franklin Street; Sunny Day

I've gravitated to the nineteenth century galleries at the Art Institute of Chicago for as long as I can remember. At the top of the grand staircase there was Gustave Caillebotte's Paris Street; Rainy Day (1877) — an unmistakable presence. Recently, the Woodson Art Museum was fortunate to acquire its own work by Caillebotte. Now, I'll be appreciating having another chance to visit regularly with the artist here in Wisconsin.
Next Stop: 12th Street

I’ve received any number of off the wall, or on the wall, project proposals in support of exhibition development at the Woodson Art Museum. My coworkers visit my office in the Museum’s workshop bringing ideas and reference photos that could lead to interactives used in Art Park, or tangible items to support artworks and exhibitions.
The “Winter” Show
Posted on January 24, 2024
While we were able to see some artworks that will hopefully join the Museum’s permanent collection, it was also our annual trip to the city to see other museums and meet with gallerists and colleagues, an important part of maintaining the relationships that remain key to the Woodson’s successes.
Today’s Your Special Day

Although my birthday has passed, every day feels like a special one at the Woodson Art Museum, especially when the work of bright young artists is celebrated.
