NEW AT SCULPTURE MILWAUKEE, MILWAUKEE
Now on display through fall 2024, Sculpture Milwaukee’s “Nature Doesn’t Know About Us,” spans five miles throughout downtown and features 18 artists’ works that celebrate the Earth’s diverse elements and the human connection to nature.
Cheers to the latest collaboration between Company Brewing and the Beer Endowment. Monumental IPA is a project its executive director and current guest curator and artist John Riepenhoff started a decade ago to support and promote artist-run organizations. Monumental IPA’s tallboys were designed by artist and former Milwaukeean Nat Pyper. The beer’s 16-ounce can, along with other design elements created by Pyper, will be part of the next exhibition, Actual Fractals, Act II, opening June 3.
