Wisconsin Visual Art Lifetime Achievement Awards (WVALAA)
The annual Wisconsin Visual Art Lifetime Achievement Awards are usually presented
during the Month of May, with the ceremony often taking place in the Museum of Wisconsin
Art, West Bend. Besides the actual announcement and presentation of award recipients,
a speaker is selected to discuss some aspect of our regional art culture, with a
reception following for the awardees in the galleries of the museum. This is a happy
event celebrating all facets of Wisconsin's visual art culture.
