Become a fan at RAMThis summer, Racine Art Museum will explore the intersection of art with cultural subjects that inspire devoted “fan” followings.The exhibition A Whole Other World: Sub Culture Craftspecifically addresses the science fiction and fantasy-based themes of Doctor Who, Star Wars, Superheroes, and Steampunk.

Each of these subjects—all linked to history, imagination, fact, and fiction in their own particular ways—have ardent fans andpractitioners. While they may stem from TV series, movies, books,graphic novels, and gatherings of the like-minded, they are notnecessarily mainstream topics of conversation. Interestingly, they have also become subjects of artworks, DIY craft, and majorprojects, such as Chris Lee’s efforts to produce a full-scale replicaof the Millenium Falcon spaceship from Star Wars.

We invite YOU to create art inspired by modern science fiction,fantasy, history, movies, and graphic novel characters for Sci-Fi,Superheroes, and Steampunk: RAM Community Art Exhibition.Use your imagination to invent a whole new world with your art.
