Racine and Vicinity Show offers a glimpse into local talent and an excellent opportunity for artists to exhibit their work in a nationally accredited museum. This juried exhibition showcases 107 works created in the last three years by 89 artists primarily residing throughout Racine, Kenosha, and Walworth counties—RAM Members residing outside the area are also invited to participate.

The juror for this year’s exhibition is Debra Brehmer, who is the owner and director of Portrait Society Gallery of Contemporary Art in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She also writes for the national art publication, Hyperallergic. Prior to running a gallery, Brehmer taught art history at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design and was the founder and publisher of Art Muscle Magazine. In 2023, she was awarded a Mayoral Proclamation for service to the art community, and in 2022 received a Wisconsin Achievement Award for Critical Writing from the Humanities Council, Wisconsin Visual Artists, and Museum of Wisconsin Art. A recent major exhibition organized by Portrait Society, Art Against the Odds: Wisconsin Prison Art, is currently touring for two years.
