The Wisconsin Union Directorate Art Committee is dedicated to bringing novel and challenging exhibitions to the Wisconsin Union and advancing visual arts in the Madison community.

This student-run committee manages every aspect of exhibitions, from artist selection and installation to art education and marketing. We are responsible for programming exhibitions in the Wisconsin Union gallery spaces. We strive to recontextualize standard approaches to the visual arts through collaborative and innovative exhibitions.

By participating in the Art Committee, you will receive valuable, hands-on experience in a professional gallery setting. If you are passionate about art, you can be part of a team that brings talented artists to the UW campus.

All free events sponsored by WUD Art Committee are intended for UW-Madison students, faculty, staff and Union members and guests.
