The Trout Museum of Art returns with Made to Order 3, an exhibit connecting collectors with Wisconsin artists to create one-of-a-kind, customized works of art. In 2021, we commissioned over $80,000 worth of art. Our 2023 goal for commissions is $100,000. 50% goes to artists and 50% to the museum. Join the Trout Museum of Art as a sponsor of the Made to Order
This fall, artists are signing up with TMA to be ready for a January 1 commission launch. Commissioning artwork is a collaborative experience between the artist and buyer. Artists create works in their style based on what they and the buyer discuss. Artists put their vision, creativity, craftsmanship into each piece. The buyer enjoys a front-row seat to watch their artwork come alive. The work is then exhibited at the museum.
Proceeds from the exhibition will directly benefit artists and TMA programming by providing funding for our exhibitions, educational programs, and community engagement events.
Below you will find areas of sponsorship for Made to Order. All sponsors will receive a range of benefits and will automatically become part of the Curator’s Circle with a year of events and programming.
Connect with Christina Turner, Trout Museum of Art President, at cturner@troutmuseum.org to organize your sponsorship.
Please join Co-Hosts Bergstrom Automotive and Community First Credit Union as Made to Order sponsors.
