Galleries in the Monroe Arts Center
The Monroe Arts Center Galleries have a history of exhibiting art in a professional setting and has developed a reputation for showcasing local and regional artists, new talent, and dedicated professional artists. The Wellington Gallery, Muranyi Gallery, and Frehner Gallery hosts approximately nine to ten exhibits each year. Annual exhibits include the Photography Contest & Exhibit and the Wisconsin Regional Arts Program Competition & Exhibit (WRAP).

Monroe Clinic Gallery in the Monroe Clinic Hospital
Since 2013, the Monroe Arts Center and the Monroe Clinic have partnered to provide patients, visitors, and staff with quarterly exhibitions in four gallery spaces in the Clinic Hospital building.
