Antigo Regional WRAP 2026

Entry Due: March 12

Join us in Antigo for the Wisconsin Regional Art Program (WRAP) exhibit, proudly sponsored by the Association of Wisconsin Artists. Since 1940, WRAP has supported nonprofessional artists through statewide workshops and exhibits.

This noncompetitive exhibit showcases local art, with standout pieces selected for the Annual State Art Exhibit. Participants will benefit from a professional artist’s demonstration or slide lecture during the workshop and have the opportunity to engage in a group critique led by an experienced judge, focusing on design, composition, and technique.

Explore the diversity of artistic expression and gain valuable feedback while contributing to a vibrant community of artists. You may enter multiple WRAP workshops throughout the year, with the option to choose one state exhibit submission if selected for multiple regional shows.
