We are artists who are committed to nurturing the artistic growth and development of every member of the group. We strive to increase awareness of local art in the Diftless Regions of Wisconsin and northern Illinois. This includes networking, educational, and exhibit opportunities.
The Driftless Area Artists (DAA) welcomes new members of any skill level or art form. Membership forms are found at the bottom of this page or at the Monroe Arts Center. We are sponsored by Monroe Arts Center (MAC) of Monroe, Wisconsin.
Join us in our quarterly challenge to help stimulate new ideas, explore new themes and inspire. We will share our explorations here on the website and Driftless Area Artists facebook page. This is also a great way to connect with fellow artists.
Our challenge for
October - December is
"Path"
Put your own interpretation
of the theme to work
and let the creating begin!
Our first challenge given summer 2019 - Make art around the theme of WINDOW BOXES. See some of the images created on the DAA News page.
Plans are underway for the 2020 Driftless Youth Art Show and Competition. In the 2018 spring show, over 50 seventh and eightgrade students from our Green County Schools participated having their art exhibited at the Brodhead P{ublic Library. There was a jury process to choose award winning pieces of art. Nearly $500 of cash prizes were awarded to many of the participants as seen in the photo below.
Along with the Driftless Area Artists, McGowan Architecture will again co-sponsor this event. Middle school art teachers hacve been notified and we are hoping for even more participation than last year from the students.
