The Trout Museum of Art returns with Made to Order, an exhibit connecting community members with Wisconsin artists to create one-of-a-kind, customized works of art be exhibited for Made to Order from Aug 25-Dec 31, 2023. YOU help curate the exhibition by commissioning an artwork from one of 40 artists listed below. TMA’s 2023 goal for commissions is $100,000. 50% goes to artists and 50% to TMA programming.
Commissioning an artwork is a collaborative experience between you and the artist. Artists create works in their style based on discussions with you. You experiences working with and getting to know the artists and watch the artwork come alive. We are grateful for your support and the support of so many artists and collectors.
