Who is Your “Why”?

Posted on November 08, 2023
SPARK!, a free monthly offering to members of the community with memory loss and their care partners, has helped to "spark" our why here at the Museum.

We See You, Out There, Attending

Lately, the Woodson Art Museum galleries have been hopping with visitors from school groups looking to enrich their education with art opportunities to friends making their annual pilgrimage to Wausau to see this year’s edition of Birds in Art and maybe peek at our beautiful fall coloring.

Traveling through the quaint and historic towns on the way to two great museums is always worth the trip.

A Season for Celebration

As I approach the four-month mark here at the museum, there is much to celebrate both in my personal life and professional life.

Our Many Thanks

Over the four days of the Birds in Art Opening Experience, starting with the Members Preview on Thursday and Friday, September 7 and 8 there were 1,677 smiling faces including those of 58 exhibiting artists and their numerous guests

A Unique Point of View

Posted on September 06, 2023
As I started working on the 2023 Birds in Art catalogue – my largest project at the Museum so far – I quickly realized that I couldn’t have dreamt of getting a better chance to highlight 2023 Master Wildlife Artist Paul Rhymer’s point of view than this.
