Sculpture Milwaukee has returned for another year! Our vice president of marketing & communications Megan Suardini was on hand to count down to an explosion of (biodegradable!) confetti at the opening party last Friday, and now the exhibition is officially open through October 27. Sculpture Milwaukee is the largest urban art gallery of its kind, so don't miss this year's line up of 22 museum-quality pieces. If you're located downtown, encourage your staff to catch some fresh air and great art on Wisconsin Avenue this summer - you could even organize a team sculpture walk like VISIT Milwaukee does! See you on the Avenue.
