I was checking out the list of galeries in the Milwaukee International and I am pretty blown away. One great new trend that I hope survives is that non profit alternative spaces are now playing a bigger role.First the blurb from the website about all the other stuff planned.
October 20 and 21 2006
This year, for the first time, Milwaukee will host its own contemporary art fair. Twenty-eight of the world’s finest galleries are coming to share their art. The fair is open to the public and admission is free. Galleries, non-profits and nomadic curators from around the country and world will be participating, showing contemporary art in a genuine, old-school Milwaukee beer hall. Various events around the fair will offer visitors guided bus tours of the city, a performance night, a DJ dance-a-thon, a collage party and a panel discussion. Fair visitors can expect to find an eclectic selection of art spaces side-by-side under one roof, from submerging to emerging galleries, young artist-made product stores next to established non-profits, anonymously curated work and internet-based projects.
