The 2019 Birds in Art Exhibit is Coming to Wausau Soon

Each fall, art lovers and nature enthusiasts converge on Wausau for one spectacular event at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum.  The Birds in Art exhibit, now entering its 44th year, is an incredibly popular event, and is part of Wausau's Artrageous Weekend. Wausau's Artrageous Weekend kicks off September 7, 2019, and promises a weekend filled with artistic fun.  Wausau's finest luxury boutique hotel, the Stewart Inn, still has a few openings for this weekend.  Come experience the incredible Birds in Art exhibit this year, and book your room at our luxury Wisconsin Inn today.

Wausau's Artrageous Weekend

Entrance to the Artrageous Weekend festivities, taking place on September 7 & 8, 2019, is free.  The weekend involves four different venues. This year's Arts in the Park at Marathon Park will feature more than 120 exhibitors. It's the perfect place to shop for art and hand-crafted items. The Festival of Arts on 3rd street and the 400 block of downtown Wausau is the perfect place to pick up a piece of art from one of the 120 juried artists. Their artworks represent a variety of mediums, and there's also live music on two stages, adding to the festive atmosphere of downtown Wausau. At the Center for the Visual Arts, you'll find a Pottery Studio, the new Vault Gallery, and the Studio room. It's an integral part of Wausau's artistic community.  Finally, at the Woodson Art Museum, visitors will enjoy the opening days of the annual Birds in Art Exhibit.

Birds in Art at the Woodson Art Museum

The biggest draw of the Artrageous Weekend in Wausau is the Birds in Art Exhibit, housed in the stunning Woodson Art Museum. Though the Birds in Art exhibit will be open throughout the fall months, closing for the year on December 1, 2019, the opening weekend provides you with the only chance to talk to the artists and watch their demonstrations. The exhibit itself includes over 100 carefully selected images of birds in their natural environments, each selected by a juried panel. Each year, the Birds in Art Exhibit features a master artist.  2019's master artist is British colored-pencil artist Alan Woollett. This will be his seventh time included in the Birds in Art Exhibit, and he'll be onsite again this year answering questions and enjoying the honor of being selected as this year's master artist.
