SUMMARY:IN THE KLEINPELL GALLERY AT THE RIVER FALLS PUBLIC LIBRARY: The Wisconsin Regional Art Program
DESCRIPTION:View works by artists from throughout the region. The Wisconsin Regional Art Program (WRAP) is a long-standing tradition in the State of Wisconsin. Originally inspired by the Wisconsin Idea\, to extend the reaches of the university throughout the state\,  WRAP now serves rural and urban artists and is administered by UW-Madison Continuing Studies. Wisconsin is the only state that has a program like this.\nWRAP in the Kleinpell Gallery at the River Falls Public Library is one of 21-plus local art exhibits sponsored by local arts organizations. In 2017\, the River Falls WRAP exhibition is co-sponsored by the River Falls Community Arts Base.\n\nWhile the exhibition artists do not consider themselves to be professional artists ("professional artists" defined by WRAP as individuals who make the majority of their income from their art)\, that in no way reflects on the quality of the artwork. Local WRAP exhibitions are judged by professional artists who select artworks to receive state awards and honorable mentions. Join us at the River Falls Public Library on February 4\, 2017\, for This is a Real Job: Insights Into Arts Work\, and the show's opening reception. \n\n \n\n2017 WRAP ARTIST WORKSHOP\n\nTHIS IS A REAL JOB: INSIGHTS INTO ARTS WORK\n\nFebruary 4\, 2017\, 1-2PM\, Library Lower Level\n\npresented by Danielle Dresden & Donna Pecket\, Producing Artistic Directors of TAPIT/new works Ensemble Theater in Madison\n\n\n\nAlthough it's common to talk about a "work of art\," we seldom discuss the "work" of being an artist and making art. More than 43\,000 Wisconsin residents are employed in arts-related businesses and the non-profit arts sector contributes approximately $418 million to the state economy. So why isn't working in the arts considered a "real job?" This session will explore the difference between the myth and the reality of what it means to be a working artist. Donna and Danielle will offer this presentation as a duo\, mixing humorous dialogue and rhythm dance with their personal backstage stories to involve audiences in a conversation about how the arts contribute to making a living and making a life in Wisconsin.
