Overview

The Racine Art Museum holds the largest and most significant contemporary craft collection in North America, with more than 10,000 objects from nationally and internationally recognized artists. There's always something new to see at RAM with 15-20 art exhibitions offered each year. The museum's mission is to elevate the stature of craft to fine arts by presenting ceramics, fibers, glass, metals, polymer, and wood alongside paintings and sculptures.

The museum plays a vital role in arts education through RAM's Wustum Museum of Fine Arts, where it offers community outreach programs, studio art classes, and workshops––both in-person and virtually online––taught by regionally and nationally known artists.
