Part of Wausau's ARTrageous weekend, for nearly 60 years, we've hosted 120+ juried artists in 11 different types of media. Along with the art, approximately 30,000 patrons enjoy live entertainment on the 400 Block stage, various local and charitable food stands, as well as a family art tent with hands-on projects and kid-friendly entertainment. Additionally there is a Young Collector's Market and Scholarship Silent Auction where art collectors of all ages can purchase art generously donated by Festival artists with the proceeds providing scholarships for area art students. Adults looking to dabble with their own art project can attend one of our Still Young @ Art sessions co-hosted by the Center for Visual Arts. This all takes place in Wausau's downtown River District Shopping Center, recently named one of seven Wisconsin cities with can't miss shopping experiences by TravelWisconsin.com. A Wausau favorite (Artrageous Weekend was voted the 2018 BEST Annual Fall/Winter Annual Event by the City Pages), the festival is open to the public, and all venues are free of charge.
