Racine Art Museum General Gifts 2025

The mission of the Racine Art Museum is to exhibit, collect, preserve, and educate in the contemporary visual arts. It is the museum’s goal to elevate the stature of craft to fine arts by presenting ceramic, fiber, glass, metal, polymer, and wood alongside paintings and sculptures.

The museum plays a vital role in arts education through RAM's Charles A. Wustum Museum of Fine Arts, where it offers community outreach programs, and studio art classes and workshops taught by regionally and nationally known artists working in craft media.

Your essential support helps sustain RAM's world-class exhibitions and related education activities that draw visitors from across the country and beyond. Support in these ever-changing times continues to help the museum enrich the lives of children, families, and artists in so many ways.

Longtime Executive Director and Curator of Collections Bruce W. Pepich is retiring in early 2025 after five decades of service. In celebration of his 50 years of service to the institution, RAMA's Board of Directors has established the Bruce W. Pepich Legacy Fund at RAM to underwrite care, conservation, and presentation of works in RAM’s collection. Contributions in any amount are welcome at any time on an ongoing basis. This fund will continue his work by bringing the public together with the ideas and technical talents of RAM’s diverse collection artists.
