Every year the Lodi Art Club awards prizes to Lodi High School art students. The Art teacher, Whitney Robarge, helps the students display their art in the school and Club members carefully evaluate what they've presented for us. Each member ranks the artists according their own criteria (it is SO hard!) and the rankings are combined to provide a list of winners.

This year we gave out a total of $1100 to 14 students.

We wish them the best of luck in their art journey! Keep Creating!

This is a New York Times article about our Chazen Museum here on the UW campus.

At the Chazen Museum of Art in Wisconsin, each gallery will now have a single “focus object,” with “a constellation of other artworks” helping to draw out particular themes.
