Our staff members are hard at work installing a new exhibition for you. Welcome Home, Toshiko: The Toshiko Takaezu Archive Debuts at RAM opens next Wednesday, October 28 at RAM Downtown, and showcases the largest collection of the famed ceramicist’s work by a North American institution.

Enjoy this behind-the-scenes look at the installation of one of the artists's major works in the exhibition, Gaea. The hammocks in the work serve a dual purpose as both a visual element and a reference to how the artist often used hammocks as a place for her spherical works, called Moons, to dry.

See Gaea and other extraordinary works when Welcome Home, Toshiko opens next week. Learn more about the exhibition: https://www.ramart.org/event/welcome-home-toshiko-the-toshiko-takaezu-archive-debuts-at-ram/

Racine Art Museum knows a thing or two about orange.

It's the color of changing leaves, pumpkins waiting to be carved, and many items throughout RAM Downtown. Check out some uses of the color in our galleries, along with products from the RAM Store that will help you add our favorite hue to your personal collection.
