The Museum of Wisconsin Art is issued a call to Wisconsin visual artists to submit comics about today’s political climate. An exhibition will be held in the Saint Kate—The Arts Hotel in downtown Milwaukee timed for the Republican National Convention. The exhibition will run from April 12 to July 24 while the convention takes place July 15 through 19.

James P. Danky, author of Wisconsin Funnies: Fifty Years of Comics and Underground Classics, will guest curate the exhibition. The focus of the exhibition is on contemporary work from all political and social perspectives by artists from Wisconsin or with a connection. Up to five artists will be invited to add work to the exhibtion in early July to reflect the political moment.

Artists are encouraged to offer their work for sale with proceeds to the artist and ten percent being donated to the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin.

Interested parties should digitally submit works (up to five) with a brief artist statement by February 23, 2024. Those selected will be notified by March 1, 2204.
