About
Art Intersection MKE is transforming vacant land in Milwaukee's Washington Park neighborhood into an accessible, immersive Community Resilience Hub.
We are fusing outdoor sculptures, murals and multimedia art with green stormwater infrastructure, native plantings, and solar infrastructure, creating a vibrant community space where the arts, nature, and meaningful human connection converge.
​
Our Hub will be more than a gallery, it will serve as a gathering place, a living classroom, and urban oasis.
​
We commission artists of all backgrounds, partner with local organizations, host interactive learning experiences, and curate events that engage people of every age and ability. Our hands-on programming inspires ecological stewardship, cultural vibrancy, and personal growth.
​
​Inclusivity and representation is at the heart of our work. We strive for every installation and event to lift up diverse voices so that everyone is seen, heard, and valued. We celebrate the beauty of our differences and our shared humanity, cultivating unity and belonging.
Join us at Art Intersection MKE to experience the transformative power of the arts, green spaces, and community, and discover the true meaning of the Art of Living Well. ​​​​​​​
