Artrageous Birds Juried Exhibition

Submissions NOW Open!!

We're excited to announce the

Artrageous Birds Juried Exhibition.

Artrageous Birds is an annual, themed, juried exhibition of original artwork, showcasing traditional, physical media alongside digital artwork in a traditional yet innovative in-gallery experience, together with online display of all accepted work.

Whitewater Arts Alliance has been pioneering this multi-faceted exhibition approach in several of its recent exhibitions, including 2025’s Fran Achen and Paint Wisconsin Exhibitions.
