Periodically, the Chazen Museum of Art hosts an exhibition that showcases the work of the UW–Madison art department faculty, who not only teach but actively pursue their own art. The
exhibition is as diverse and innovative as the faculty and the art world at large, presenting paintings, sculpture, graphics, ceramics, textiles, woodwork, metalwork, glass, prints, and
photographs, as well as performance, video, and computer art. The styles, media, and techniques seen at the finest national and international art shows are seen in the art department works.
The 2008 exhibition featured twenty-seven current faculty, seven affiliates from related departments and Tandem Press, and seventeen emeritus faculty.
