Direct Purchase 2009-2010 - Call for Artists
What is Direct Purchase?
Wisconsin State facilities with Percent for Art allocations of less than $15,000 participate in the Direct Purchase Program. Through this, project facilities view and acquire works of art from a much broader sampling of Wisconsin artists, rather than commissioning art. Allocations will range from $675-$15,000. If you are a visual artist residing in Wisconsin, and would like your fine art to be considered for purchase by these agencies, you may apply to participate in the Direct Purchase Program. Get the full story by reading the 2009-2010 Direct Purchase Prospectus (available here for download).
