The University of Wisconsin-Platteville will host the reception and award ceremony for the Association of Wisconsin Artists (AWA) WRAP-Teen High School Art Show on Wednesday, Dec. 10, from 5–6 p.m. in the Nohr Gallery, located in Ullsvik Hall.

This year’s exhibition features 38 artworks created by 29 student artists from five regional high schools across southwestern Wisconsin: Platteville, Mineral Point, Darlington, River Valley and Potosi. The works are on display throughout the Nohr Gallery and showcase the creativity and talent of emerging young artists from the region.

Kobe Elixson, lecturer of drawing and printmaking in the UW–Platteville Art Program, will serve as this year’s juror. Elixson will select eight high school artists to receive regional State Awards, granting them the opportunity to exhibit their work at the annual AWA State Conference in either Madison or Wausau in 2026.
