WISCONSIN RAPIDS – The Central Wisconsin Cultural Center is accepting submissions for “Rural Visions,” a juried art exhibition celebrating country life and pastoral themes.
The center invites emerging and established artists to submit original artwork that offers historical or cultural insight into rural life, captures agrarian beauty or reflects on countryside nostalgia. All media will be considered, including painting, ceramics, sculpture, jewelry and more.
