How Do You Keep the Artist in Art Educator?  

Remember back when you were in college?  Maybe that was last year or maybe 20 or more years ago or somewhere in between.  Either way, I'm guessing you were an artist and an art major before you decided to become a teacher.  For many of us continuing to make art while also dedicating time to being an educator can be challenging.  For others making art is how we survive being an educator.  Regardless of where you land on this spectrum this page is devoted to pushing you in new directions with your own art-making.  The goal is to inform you of opportunities for exhibits, workshops, or challenges that will help keep your artist-educator tools creative and dripping with enthusiasm.  

If you know of a creative workshop, challenge or exhibit you think folks would be interested in contact waeawebmaster@gmail.com and we will do our best to add it to this page.  Please include an image, a link to the details about the opportunities and any other pertinent information.  

Continuum 2020: The Ties that Bind

Picture
Celebrating legacy alumni Virgilyn Driscoll (’74, ’54) and Allen Caucutt (’63, ’57), the 2020 Continuum exhibition showcases their work and brings together twenty additional alumni who remain active makers and art educators in southeastern Wisconsin.

Co-curated by art education professor Kim Cosier and art and design director and senior lecturer Josie Osborne, UWM Art Education 2000-2020: The Ties That Bind, is a celebration of UWM art-ed alumni from the past two decades. Charged with reimagining the Peck School’s landmark art education program in 2001, Cosier and fellow faculty have pursued a mission centered on social justice, equity and urban art education. The program’s alumni have carried this mission forward in their own careers, classrooms and studios as dedicated artists and teachers. Join us for a uniquely inspirational and influential exhibition of local talent. 

​FREE and SAFELY open to the public starting Aug. 30th-Oct. 11th, 2020 1-4pm. Masks required! Please reserve your FREE viewing time slot through the PSOA Box Office.

Science and Social Distancing Art Project Opportunity

Artist Application for the creation of Science Virtual Works or Community Activities

WHO can apply: All artists are encouraged to apply (visual, performance, literature)

WHAT is it: Eligible projects will propose the creation of science art, or the creation of community social distancing friendly activities:

inspired by one of five areas: Diversity of Scientists, Big Data/Precision Medicine, Periodic Table, Astrophysics and Molecular Structure
leverage edutainment of existing science to street art murals
incorporate real science (selected artists will be paired with a scientist based on their proposed topic to provide any expertise needed)
 
WHERE: Online - selected projects must be sharable as downloads, social media posts or videos and will complement Science to Street Art murals.

WHEN to apply: Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until July 2020. We recommend artists apply as soon as possible as the application will close once all funds are committed.


Selected artists will receive up to $500 per project- and will have their work or activities exhibited throughout social media, websites, and Science to Street Art partner programming activities during the Summer of 2020.

Find the application at: https://forms.gle/3X7qdPHWFMDnpMGn7

More information at: https://tinyurl.com/sciencetostreetart

The Scoop: In lieu of our 2019-2020 mural unveiling events (canceled due to COVID-19), we adjusted our budget to support more artists and science art fusion works. The purpose of this call is to celebrate a virtual unveiling of Science to Street Art 2019-2020 Murals around the city of Madison through the production of new art and community activity creations related to mural themes. Our goal is to work collaboratively with artists to provide content that supports connection, the enjoyment of art and science, and prevents spread of COVID-19 while respecting social distancing practices.
