Paint Wisconsin-Marilyn Fuerstenberg Legacy Campaign

November 3, 2024 - December 20, 2024

In Conjunction with the WAA Annual Members’ Show

Whitewater Arts Alliance (WAA), in partnership with the Whitewater Senior High Class of 1961 is proud to announce the launch of the Paint Wisconsin-Marilyn Fuerstenberg Legacy Campaign. This special fundraiser will help sustain and support Paint Wisconsin, a new annual art exhibition beginning in August 2025. Paint Wisconsin will showcase the creativity and beauty of Wisconsin through works of art that capture the state's unique aesthetics, landscapes, and life.

The goal of the Paint Wisconsin - Marilyn Fuerstenberg Legacy Campaign is to ensure the longevity of the annual Paint Wisconsin exhibition while also supporting the Whitewater Arts Alliance’s educational and children’s art programs. Friends and community members are invited to support this initiative.

Anyone who contributes to the Paint Wisconsin - Marilyn Fuerstenberg Legacy Campaign between November 3 and December 20, during the Annual Members Show, will be entered into a drawing for one of two Marilyn Fuerstenberg’s original watercolor paintings. Additionally, attendees of the Annual Members Show who purchase a raffle ticket, will have a chance to win one of three original paintings by Tom Jewell, a recognized regional artist, Class of 1961 alum, and close friend of Marilyn. There will be separate winners for each drawing. The winners will be announced following the 2024 WAA Members’ Show, which runs from November 1 to December 20, 2024.

Marilyn Fuerstenberg, a founding member of the WAA and proud Class of 1961 alumna, was known for her passion for the arts and her dedication to fostering creativity and community spirit. By supporting WAA and the Paint Wisconsin exhibit, donors honor Marilyn’s legacy, helping to inspire art and creativity in Whitewater and beyond.
