MONROE - Emily Weichbrod, an artist from Monroe, won an award in the 75th anniversary exhibition of the Wisconsin Regional Art Program.

The Wisconsin Regional Art Program helps nonprofessional artists develop their creative abilities. It holds workshops and exhibitions around the state, including an annual showcase in Madison for award-winning work. This year's 75th anniversary exhibition features more than 200 artists at the Pyle Center through Sept. 26. The artwork was chosen by the two dozen professional artists who've judged local WRAP exhibitions.

The state exhibition concludes with an annual conference on Sept. 26, including an awards presentation. With help from WRAP's nonprofit partner organization, the Wisconsin Regional Artists Association, selected artists will receive over $5,000 to support their continued development.

Weichbrod won the Whitewater Arts Alliance Award for "Patience."
