Our Annual Member’s Show is one of our most exciting exhibitions every year, this salon style show provides a unique opportunity for artists at different points in their careers, working in a wide range of media and styles to exhibit together, showing the depth and breadth of contemporary art making in Wisconsin. This is one of the most unique, largest and surprising displays of art and artists presented each year in the Milwaukee area. Last year a record 67 artist members of WPCA participated in this exhibition.
As Katherine Murrell’s wrote in her Susceptible to Images review last year:
“This year’s edition is a lively and punchy offering. There’s a lot of work packed onto the collective wall space, but despite the lack of unifying theme or curatorial message, it hangs together well, like a roving but riveting conversation where unexpected surprises regularly roll off the tip of the tongue. WPCA takes an extraordinarily democratic approach to this show. The annual call for submissions is put out with stipulations concerning size and number of pieces from individual artists that will be accepted. Then, the works pour in and the show comes together. On paper, this sounds like a curatorial train-wreck waiting to happen, but it’s one of those ideas that is so daring, it just might work. There is no deciding jury, there are no awards, there is no competition. The final display is refreshingly candid and lacking in official (or unofficial) agendas.”
