17³Ô¹Ï

Our opening receptions are a highlight, offering a chance to meet the artists, explore new exhibitions, and celebrate the arts with music, fellowship, and refreshments. These events are free to attend (unless otherwise noted) and provide the perfect opportunity to connect with Northwoods arts enthusiasts. We invite you to visit our beautiful campus, stroll through the exhibits, and experience the creativity and inspiration on display.

Witness the creativity of 17³Ô¹Ï’s talented students through a curated collection of their works. As part of their educational journey, many students create art in our art labs while fulfilling their Humanities and Elective requirements. From sketches to paintings, sculpture, ceramics, and more, these pieces showcase their artistic growth and vision. Our faculty carefully select and display these remarkable creations, highlighting the diversity and skill of our student artists. The opening reception is a must-attend event — a chance to support and celebrate the artists within our college community. We are proud to empower students recognized for their artistic excellence as they continue to evolve and thrive in their journey through higher education.

The Wisconsin Regional Art Program (WRAP) encourages nonprofessional, student, and emerging artists to create and exhibit their work across Wisconsin. It is for people who have a serious interest in art, and create art for the love of art. WRAP originated as an outreach program of UW-Madison but is now administered by the Association of Wisconsin Artists. Each WRAP site has a judge who selects works eligible for the state competition. The judge also provides invaluable encouragement and feedback to the exhibiting artists.

This year’s 17³Ô¹Ï judge and workshop instructor is Wolfgang Ryan. He uses repurposed found objects in unexpected ways to create sculptures that amuse and confound the viewer. Ryan’s art seeks playful conversations with art history, popular culture, literature, mythology, and philosophy, with allusions to history and science. In his 2023 exhibit at ArtStart entitled All Over the Place, Right Here, Ryan tackled everything from skateboarding to the multiverse and a few things in between.
