The state has a long history of supporting the art form as a means of social and personal expression. You see it in our schools—UW Madison was the first college in the country to institute a dance program. You see it at annual festivals\, which range from polka contests to Hmong New Year celebrations. You see it in Tribal Nations and communities as they celebrate and honor their culture.

Modified images like the ones seen in this outdoor display were created when photographers took two prints: one of a background landscape\, and another close-up of an object that was cut out and superimposed onto the first. The results are playful pictures in which strawberries reach the size of boulders and fishermen grapple with whale-size catches. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNote: For hours\, admission\, and pricing\, please contact the hosting venue.
