FACILITIES

Located in the George L. Mosse Humanities and Art Lofts buildings on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, we are part of an internationally known research university with a remarkable history. We are proud of the accomplishments of our faculty and alumni and of the creative promise in our students. A wealth of resources on campus, in the Madison arts community and abroad, enable us to bring established artists to meet with our students and faculty.

We invite you to come and explore the inspired, creative world of the UW-Madison Art Department.
