Enjoy the professionally curated exhibit of MOWA On The Lake, the satellite site of the Museum of Wisconsin Art, located in Saint John’s Museum Gallery.

Open to the public daily from 10 a.m. – 7 p.m.

Our current exhibit Ancestral Layers (November 21, 2025–February 15, 2026) features Mack Bo Ross – a Madison, Wisconsin–based professional animator and artist.

His art is a reflection of resilience — a maze of detours, dead ends, and breakthroughs. It honors his family's roots, nourished by love, loss, and the courage to keep reaching out. Through every brushstroke and line of poetry, Mack invites others to see the shared humanity beneath the surface — different shades, one heart.

The audience explored the adaptations that make owls successful predators of the night and interact with artifacts. Participants gained an appreciation for their nocturnal neighbors and the invaluable role they play in the ecosystem.
