Current Exhibitions
Presenting work from artists who create meaningful statements in craft media, RAM dispels any differentiation between fine art and craft and between the artist and the craftsperson. Exhibitions at RAM emphasize ideas behind the artwork, rather than following strict media categories.
All shows at RAM change two to three times each year. Exhibitions are currently being drawn almost exclusively from RAM’s extensive and dynamic collection.

RAM’s Collection
The Racine Art Museum has the largest contemporary craft collection in the United States. RAM’s holdings have grown substantially since it opened in 2003—increasing from 2,200 to 14,000 pieces. Over half of these pieces represent the museum’s focus on contemporary craft from internationally recognized artists—with concentration in ceramics, fibers, glass, metals, art jewelry, polymer, and wood.
The other portion of RAM’s collection is a regionally significant holding of works on paper—prints, drawings, watercolor, and photography, as well as artists’ book—from the 1930s to the present.
