On Saturday, March 22, 2025, artists and arts organizations joined Racine Arts Council for the first ArtSeed Showcase: Creativity in Bloom.
Presenting a sample of the Arts in Racine and a chance to network with fellow arts appreciators, enjoy performances by past ArtSeed grantees, and hear presentations from current recipients! Artists, supporters and arts appreciators celebrated our local arts community. Prior to the event, practicing artists and arts professionals offered free drop-in consultations. Performing groups included Choral Arts Society of Southeastern Wisconsin, Racine Concert Band, Over Our Head Players, and Sweatshop Movement. In addition, BeLEAF Survivors, Racine Video Production, Racine Zoo, The Poetry Movement, and The QuaranTeam / Mansfield Mysteries had information stations to share about their ArtSeed projects. Along with recognizing the incredible talent in our community, the showcase celebrated the accomplishments of the Racine Arts Council and most importantly, proceeds fund future ArtSeed grants. Established in 1967, Racine Arts Council encourages, supports, and advocates on behalf of emerging and established artists, arts organizations and young people interested in the arts. RAC is the longest running arts council in the state. The ArtSeed grant program encourages and enhances the arts in Racine county. Through ArtSeed grants, Racine Arts Council has awarded over $135,000 in funds to support and grow the arts community. |
