West
Bend’s Museum of Wisconsin Art commits to collecting, conserving, documenting
and exhibiting the best in regional art from the entire state. This includes
the largest collection of artwork from European trained Carl von Marr,
especially his 1889 masterpiece, The
Flagellants, together with Early Wisconsin Regional Art. The main gallery
focuses extensively on various historical and contemporary Wisconsin artists in
every medium and genre, often uncovering historical collections, representing
avant-garde artwork or highlighting unfamiliar names with an extensive Art
Archives on their lower level. New educational programming includes artist’s
lectures, Art in Action on the third Saturday of every month for families, and
The Moment, lively discourse and inspiration on the fourth Thursday every other
month. The museum is planning in the future to construct a completely new
building housing modern archival technology for documenting and preserving
their valuable Wisconsin Art collections along with a new gift shop, café and
patio.
