Racine Art Museum
Racine Art Museum (RAM) is a nationally recognized institution that presents exhibitions and programming curated around contemporary art, craft,
and design. Located in Racine, Wisconsin, a historic community on the
shores of Lake Michigan, it occupies two facilities—the Racine Art Museum,
an expansive modern gallery with award-winning architecture on the
downtown waterfront, and the Charles A. Wustum Museum of Fine Arts (Wustum), an exhibition space and studio art center housed in a historic farmhouse surrounded by lawns and gardens.
RAM is known for having the largest contemporary craft collection in
North America, with more than 14,000 works by renowned artists in ceramics, fiber, glass, metal, polymer, wood, and more. Our thoughtful exhibitions
invite visitors to engage with artistic innovation, the physicality of materials, and the intersection of the craft and contemporary art movements.
We welcome approximately 50,000 guests from 40 states and 15 countries annually—making RAM a cultural and economic anchor for the region. Each year, as many as 15,000 people take part in our educational programs. Others benefit
from wide-reaching K–12 experiences, community collaborations, and
creative engagement opportunities for people with memory loss.
