The opportunity to exhibit original artwork in legislators’ offices at the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison is open to all current artist members of Arts & Humanities Alliance of Kenosha (AHA! Kenosha.) All wall-hung media 20 pounds or less will be considered. Please weigh your artwork, and do not submit work that is heavier, as the hanging system at the State Capitol is only rated for this weight. Artists may submit one/two art piece(s) per exhibit up to 4’ in any direction. NOTE: There are approximately 20 wall spaces for smaller, (18” to 36”) pieces, and 5 places for larger ones. A total of about 25 pieces will be selected for each exhibit. Although works will be available for sale, we consider this exhibition opportunity to be more for resume-building, than a sales outlet. Artwork will be on exhibition for 3 to 4 months, depending on the interest among artists in exhibiting, and our ability to coordinate installation schedules with our legislators in Madison.

The deadline is Aug. 15th I thought.
Okay…here’s the scoop. There is NO deadline. This is not a one-time exhibit. We will be hanging artwork at the Capitol throughout the year (hopefully for years to come.) If you do not get to exhibit your artwork at the Capitol this time, you will have many more chances in the future. At this time, we believe that the work will hang for 3 months; we’ll change exhibits quarterly. We’ll have to see how that goes, but that is our plan for now.
As this is a member benefit, only AHA! members can submit artwork for CAP. So I think that the “deadline” discussion came about because we will soon be putting out the very first call for submissions. If you are not an AHA! member (or you do not have email) you will not receive this first notice to submit work for consideration.
SO, join AHA!
