About 

 

Art Intersection MKE has transformed underutilized vacant properties in Milwaukee's Washington Park neighborhood into a world-class Outdoor Gallery.

 

We integrate outdoor sculptures, murals and multimedia art with green stormwater infrastructure and green technologies to create a vibrant community space where art, nature, and meaningful human connection converge.  

​

Our space is more than a gallery. It is an urban oasis. 

​

We commission artists from around the world, partner with local organizations, host interactive learning experiences, and curate events that engage people of every age and ability. 

​

​Inclusivity and representation are at the heart of our work. We strive for every installation and event to uplift diverse voices so that everyone is seen, heard, and valued. We celebrate the beauty of our differences and our shared humanity.

 

Join us at Art Intersection MKE to experience the transformative power of art, green space, and community, and discover what it truly means to embrace the Art of Living Well. ​​​​​​​
