October, 29th 5:30-7:30pm   ART Milwaukee Turns 2 Two years ago today, ART Milwaukee started as an organization to enrich, empower and inspire the community through art events and programming. Since that time we are focused on using the arts as a social and economic driver for the city and for artists of all mediums. As a stimulus for the creative economy, ART Milwaukee has put over $100,000 directly into the hands of local by creating paid opportunities, working as an artist advocate and changing the perceived value of art within our business community. On behalf myself Jeremy Fojut and Angela Damiani we personally want to thank every artist, employee, intern, business and organization that has worked with us in the past two years. We also want to thank everyone that helped us by sharing our programming and the volunteers that have helped us grow in to a sustainable non-profit arts organization. There are many big things in the works that we will be sharing with you in the coming month that will continue to change the creative fabric of our fair city. We look forward to your continued support. Finally, if you are interested in joining the creative movement, please join us for the formation of Milwaukee's first Creative Arts Council.    DearMKE DearMKE started as a way for all of us to show others what we love about our city. It is growing into a film, twelve documentaries made by local filmmakers and a citywide contest that lets all of us tell our story like only we can. We all know what makes Milwaukee such a great place. DearMKE is looking for stories submitted by Milwaukeeans alike. The goal is to share these stories with people around the United States and beyond to show them how great of a city Milwuakee is. Join in spreading the word below.
