Wisconsin Artists Collection

The Wisconsin Artists Permanent Collection features artists from around the state, with more than 400 pieces in eight buildings throughout the Carroll campus. New pieces are added occasionally.

Creating the collection was the realized dream of Marceil Pultorak, professor emeritus of art. She wanted a better way for her students to study art. Today the collection is used by art students in their classes and also educates viewers on the wide range of Wisconsin artists.
