About This Venue
The Cedarburg Art Museum celebrates and preserves Wisconsin's art, history, and culture through rotating exhibitions, educational programs, and community events housed in the historic 1898 Wittenberg-Jochem Mansion in downtown Cedarburg.
Located in one of Cedarburg's most distinctive historic homes, the museum offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience art and history in an intimate setting. The elegant mansion serves as both a gallery space and a window into the region's architectural heritage, creating a welcoming atmosphere for art enthusiasts and casual visitors alike. The museum is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10am to 4pm and Sunday from 12pm to 4pm, making it accessible for weekend exploration of the charming historic village.
Beyond exhibitions, the museum enriches the community through diverse programming including juried competitions, educational workshops like High School Sketch and Main Street Art Camp, and special events such as Royal Tea and Palette to Plate gatherings. The museum also operates a gift shop and beer garden, and publishes "A Creative Place: The History of Wisconsin Art," a landmark publication that has become an essential resource for understanding the state's artistic legacy. Visitors can support the museum through memberships, donations, and participation in volunteer opportunities while enjoying this vital cultural hub in the Milwaukee area.
