TAKE HOME AN ORIGINAL WORK OF ART
The MOWA Contemporary 2022 features a curated selection of more than 40 works of art and art experiences from some of the most compelling artists working today. A group of generous artists has donated works to MOWA. Lots range from $500 to more than $10,000 and include painting, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, photography, works on paper, and design.
Proceeds from the MOWA Contemporary 2022 will support the museum’s exhibitions and programs that highlight the vibrant art and artists of the state and serve the diverse communities of the region.

50/50 PLEDGE
MOWA is dedicated to the artists of Wisconsin—to showing their work in exhibitions, sharing their voices in programs and classes, and connecting them with audiences to inspire broader perspectives and build stronger communities. We will share fifty percent of each auction artwork sale with the contributing artist and fifty percent will benefit MOWA and its commitment to the arts and culture of the state.
