Who We Are

We are a dedicated group of passionate artists and art supporters in south-central Wisconsin who work to promote the visual arts through education, outreach, and art events. Our juried members create and exhibit fine and functional art in a variety of mediums.

History

14 South Artists, Inc. was formed in 2004 by a small group of dedicated artists living south of Madison along the Highway 14 corridor. They were seeking creative ways to network and collectively promote their independent work. A fall art tour of their dispersed studios and workshops became the annual showcase event. Today 14 South Artists engages in a variety of art exhibits and events and has grown to 50+ members, with many residing outside the original area into metro Madison and beyond.
