Baraboo Arts & Convention Center

Baraboo Arts is a unique and historic building that was built in 1909. The Ringling Brothers used it to work on their wagons, create costumes, and store their equipment through the harsh Wisconsin winters. The building has been preserved to the exposed brick walls and open ceilings just as it was when it was built at the turn of the century. WUI is excited to share this unique historic site with you!

A complimentary event for all members, to WUI members and guests of members who are considering membership! RSVP early, Space is Limited!
