We are not artists who wander aimlessly in the name of art. Our group’s name originates from the region's hills and valleys and its terrain as the result of its having escaped glaciation in the last glacial period.  Our Driftless Area covers much of southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois. It is the beautiful area in which we live, work, and create art.  
As artists we are painters and potters, wool workers and woodworkers, photo takers, mosaic makers, and jewelry creators.  Whether our tool of choice is brush, pencil, needle, wheel, chisel, or lens, we love sharing our art with each other and within surrounding communities.
We welcome artists of any level into our organization. 

The Driftless Area Artists are “committed to nurturing the artistic growth and development of artists.”
