Indigenous Wisconsin: Beyond Acknowledgment
This exhibition brings together Indigenous artists whose work is rooted in reciprocal relationships with the lands and waters of Wisconsin; relationships expressed through material, memory, language, story, and practice.
You’ve heard of a land acknowledgment before. A person or an institution will acknowledge the land that we stand upon...but what does that actually mean?
What comes next?
A land acknowledgment is a doorway.
Indigenous Wisconsin: Beyond Acknowledgment invites us through it.
Opening Reception: Thursday, November 12, 2026 5:00-7:00 PM
02/01/2027 - 03/01/2027
In Living Color: The Sacred & Celebratory Practices of Black Women
The 6th annual Dzigbodi Akyea Art Show
This group show, curated by local artists Alice Traore and Sharon Bjyrd, honors the many ways Black women sustain, connect, celebrate, heal, remember, and affirm themselves, and the joy they find along the way. The exhibition explores themes such as tradition, family gatherings, beauty and adornment, cooking, dance, song, rest, self-care, and community care, with each artist bringing their own interpretation to the theme.
Opening Reception: Thursday, February 4, 2027 5:30-8:30 PM

Arts for All WI | Creative Power @ Madison College
Presented by Arts for All Wisconsin, the Creative Power Collection is a traveling exhibition of award-winning artwork by children and adults with disabilities from across Wisconsin. Each year, the Creative Power program invites Wisconsin residents ages five and older who identify as having a disability to submit work through a free Call for Art. Judges select winning pieces that honor creativity, originality, and craftsmanship, and ten of these works join the collection to tour community spaces around the state. Madison College is proud to share this collection with our community.
