35th Annual Midwest Seasons

Midwest Seasons features artists from all over the country who submit pieces that capture the spirit of the Midwest and its seasonal wonders. Each year hundreds of artists submit their artwork for a chance to be spotlighted in this - the CVA’s most popular annual show. Original works draw inspiration from Midwest impressions and activities - the excitement of summer sports, the fresh scents of spring awakening, the warmth of a hot cup of soup in the bitter winter, or the crisp autumn colors.

The Landmark Building Mural

The Center for Visual Arts in partnership with the City of Wausau and Rocket Industrial invites design proposals from Mural Artists for a site-specific mural in downtown Wausau. This new mural will be located on The Landmark building on the intersection of Scott Street and North 2nd Street in Wausau, WI. A strong mural proposal will be a site-based mural representing the community, downtown, and its diversity. This should be a photo-worthy mural, with clean graphic lines, and be innovative and creative. Selected artist(s) will receive a stipend of $15,000 for the installation, and rights to the design for publication. Selected artist(s) will be provided all materials including paint and scaffolding, as well as a local mural assistant.

The Medium Is Technology

Technology as a creative medium has a long rich partnership with the visual arts. As technology continues to change as does the definition of technology as a medium. This constant state of change pushes and pulls at the boundaries of Art. This show seeks to highlight artwork that is made using "technology" as a tool or medium for artwork. This includes but is not limited to graphic design, digital photography, 3D printers, NFT, video art, CNC cut or laser cut materials, video art, robotics, webpages, etc.
