About the Wisconsin Regional Artist Program 

The Wisconsin Regional Art Program (WRAP) provides statewide art workshops and exhibits for nonprofessional artists. It began in 1940 with the intent of encouraging creative growth, which it continues to do today in these three ways:
​

• Art work is shown in a noncompetitive exhibit in regional communities. Meritorious work is selected for the Annual State Art Exhibit in Madison. 
• A demonstration or slide lecture is given during the regional workshop by a professional artist.
• The exhibition judge answers your questions on design, composition, and technique during a group critique and evaluative discussion.

The Wisconsin Regional Art Program consists of many artist workshop/exhibits that meet throughout the year statewide. Each one has a different artist demonstration or slide lecture and a different judge to lead the afternoon critique. You may enter as many Wisconsin Regional Art Workshops as you like. Your art work will be on exhibit in different communities. If your work is selected for the State Exhibit at two different workshops, you may choose which ONE you want to submit to the Madison exhibit.

​My name is Kimberly Ruth Muller and the title of my show is
 
LIFE AFTER OVERDOSE
featuring 
“THE REAL“
 
a collaboration of myself & my late daughter Lindsey Rebecca Viramontes.
 
I reside here in the stateline area and currently work for Adams Publishing/ Beloit Daily News in downtown Beloit, WI. I am a Multi-Media Account Executive. I love to help people! And I love to bring new ideas and creativity to advertising. 
 
I strive to Never take My Life, nor My Blessings for granted. I appreciate all the Love, Beauty, and Art in this world. “EARTH without ART is just “EH.” I’ve been an artist my entire life. Since I was a tiny girl, I’ve had a connection to God, nature, animals, and kindness.  Like my beloved grandma Ruth Nickel, I’m always writing, always creating poetry, photography, sketches, paintings…  
 
Throughout the years, my creations have won awards and yes, it’s wonderful to have my art liked and appreciated, but more importantly - having a creative outlet during grief has sincerely SAVED MY LIFE!
 
-Kimberly
