Racine Art Museum Presents a Virtual Happy Hour Featuring Guest Artist Rosy Petri

Racine, WI   March 3, 2021

Throughout the past year, the Racine Art Museum (RAM) has been creating opportunities for would-be museum visitors to engage virtually with art from the comfort of their home, and for artists to share work created during the global pandemic. In continuation of this effort, RAM is pleased to announce the tenth in the museum’s series of casual, virtual meet-ups, Artists in the House: RAM Virtual Happy Hour, on Thursday, March 11 at 6:30 pm.

Artists in the House typically focuses on participating artists and gives them an opportunity to share recent creations and experiences. In addition to relaunching this series of online events, this particular Virtual Happy Hour also features a discussion with Milwaukee fiber artist Rosy Petri, whose loaned works have been recently added to the current RAM exhibition, In Stitches: Contemporary Approaches to Needlework.

RAM Curator of Exhibitions Lena Vigna and RAM Curatorial Assistant Kendra Voelz will introduce the artist, and initiate conversation about her work. Members of the public are invited to join the discussion with Petri.

Event registration is available at the museum website, ramart.org. A Zoom link to join the Virtual Happy Hour will be sent via email after registering.
