Today is your first chance to see our brand new exhibition! 🖼️🌟
“Forward: WI Artists on America’s Pursuit of Happiness” is on view today through November 8th, 2026.
The Cedarburg Art Museum joins the rest of the country in celebrating a momentous occasion in the 250th anniversary of the establishment of the United States of America. In this exhibition, artists from across the decades explore themes central to the American identity.
The works in this exhibition represent a microcosm of the larger country, examining important subjects which have influenced both America’s and individual identities, such as labor, agriculture, leisure, conflict, and more.
Join us for the Opening Reception of “Forward” next week on September 3rd at 5:00 PM, with Curator Remarks at 5:30 PM. The reception will be free and open to the public.
The Cedarburg Art Museum thanks the following for lending artwork to this exhibition:

French, Shelby Keefe, Wylie Knight, Olivia Lorber, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Rosy Petri, Evelyn Patricia Terry, Ariana Vaeth, and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Art Collection.
