Join us on Opening Night! Exhibit openings at TMA are free and open for everyone to attend.

TMA Contemporary is the Trout Museum of Art’s annual juried exhibition showcasing Wisconsin’s top visual artists. Works exemplify the cutting-edge art being created by artists across the state today.

Each year, all WI artists working in any medium are invited to apply with up to three works. Jurors select artists based on their artistic quality and innovative ideas. Artists may draw inspiration from the world around them, personal narrative, the environment, or their inner feelings and imagination. Spanning all three floors of the museum, TMA Contemporary represents a wide spectrum of media and creative perspectives. A total of $10,000 and a solo exhibition will be awarded to seven artists at the TMA Contemporary opening reception.
