This Week: "The Art of Organizing in Latinx Milwaukee" Featured in Gallery Night MKE

UWM Archives’ Latine Heritage Month pop-up exhibit, “The Art of Organizing in Latinx Milwaukee,” is featured in Gallery Night MKE tomorrow, Friday, October 18, from 4-7 p.m.! Stop by our exhibit space and explore the visual culture of protest through art from Voces de la Frontera and earlier generations of Latinx activists. 

As exhibit selections featured here show, the 1960s, 70s, and 80s were witness to increasing visibility and recognition for local Latinx artists, who spearheaded a variety of innovative arts programming initiatives. Organizations like Latino Arts continue this work today, and artists represented in the Union Art Gallery’s “Colors of Our Communidad” exhibition, also featured in Gallery Night, testify to the persistence of this vital tradition of artistic achievement in our present.

How did no one before Hiccup ever look at dragons and didn't instantly think friend shaped.

Only one day left until the Lunar New Year, who should be the last dragon I draw?
