In addition to being a Walk Captain / Wellness Ambassador for the Foundation for Black Women's Wellness, Annik Dupaty directs all of the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art’s major fundraising events and serves on the Madison Arts Commission. She holds both a bachelor's and a master's degree in art history from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee; worked at the Milwaukee Art Museum; taught art history at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design (MIAD); was a contributing Author/Researcher for Permission to Paint, Please - a book chronicling a 150-year period of African American art and artists in Wisconsin; and recently illustrated a children’s book, My Imagined World: A Story Inspired by Prince Rogers Nelson. Although drawing was her earliest form of creative expression, she has been exploring photography, ceramics and painting her whole life. She has worked in the arts for decades, but is still regularly awed and amazed by human creativity, and wishes all children would be encouraged to express themselves through art. Annik lives in Madison, WI with her family, and a beloved collection of Prince albums and Prince-inspired artworks.
