March Detour by Carr

While Milwaukee is often called a “City of Neighborhoods,” learning about communities outside of your own can be a challenge — it’s not always obvious where to start. Join Milwaukee enthusiast Adam Carr for an in-depth bus tour and exploration of culture/history/depth/texture in Milwaukee neighborhoods.
This is part one of two MKE101 tours in 2017, designed to explore some of the most fundamental ideas of our city. The tour’s route and itinerary will be inspired by Explore MKE: Your Neighborhood, Our City, a book recently written by Carr and published by SHARP Literacy. Our focus during this leg will be the South Side, with the second leg focusing on the North Side.
The tour will include a handful of stops, as well as food/snacks along the route. Be prepared to get off the bus and explore.

Call for Art: Statement Juried Show

from: From: Brian Hofmeister <brian@hofmeistergallery.com>

Hi Artist Friends and Acquaintances,

The next fine arts show I’ll be organizing is taking place in February!

It's a themed show, lasting one week, with an opening reception that will include complimentary punch, a cash bar, and appetizers.  The theme is "STATEMENT: The Message Behind the Art."  We'd love for you to participate and include artist statements to help the viewing audience appreciate the heart/thought/intent behind your work.  You can participate with as little as one entry, or as many as twelve as space allows.

Entry Fee is just $5.  Two $50 Grants will be awarded.  Each artist receives a complimentary drink ticket.

That's the gist of it.  Linked is the full details.

Hope to have your participation!

Jeanne Nikolai Olivieri art exhibit at the Pfister!

Dear Friends,

I am very excited to have a solo exhibition at the Pfister Pop-up Gallery from February 5 to March 4! The show features my paintings, including new works created for this exhibition, and an interactive installation called Think Inside the Box©

There will be an artist reception at the gallery on February 16 from 5:30 to 8:30. Please join me for the evening. Check out the paintings and take part in the installation activity!

Think Inside the Box© is composed of three distinct, furnished box environments; safe places where participants can tangibly express their thoughts and creative ideas without fear of judgment. Visitors are encouraged to sketch, write, dream, and communicate their secret selves inside the Box. Sketching/writing materials will be provided. Visitors' anonymous contributions will become part of the installation. For more info, click on:

http://shepherdexpress.com/article-28255-the-creative-potential-of-security-and-enclosure.html

See you on February 16! If you can't make it that evening, the exhibition is open daily from 10am to 9pm, from today until March 4. I will be in the pop-up gallery most days for a few hours, painting. If you want to come while I'm at the Pfister Pop-Up, please contact me for my hours, as they will vary from day to day.

Cheers,
