As the champion for Milwaukee’s arts and culture sector, Imagine MKE works to ensure creativity is supported, celebrated and remains central to our city’s identity and cultural landscape. Free, accessible public art plays a powerful role by allowing everyone to engage while fostering community dialogue and connection. By weaving creativity into the rhythm of daily life, the work of Sculpture Milwaukee invites residents and visitors to pause, reflect, and see their surroundings with fresh eyes. These encounters with art in unexpected places spark dialogue and curiosity, while reminding us of our shared humanity.

Dedicated to amplifying the immense contributions of Milwaukee’s artists and cultural organizations, we developed a partnership with TMJ4 to spotlight art, local talent and the many ways creativity enriches our neighborhoods. We invite the creative community to share their stories and happenings directly with the newsroom through the TMJ4 Contact Form found under Media at imaginemke.org.

“At Imagine MKE, we believe public art is essential to Milwaukee’s identity. By making creativity visible and accessible, we invite connection, reflection and pride in our city’s cultural richness. Supporting Sculpture Milwaukee is part of our commitment to strengthening community through the arts.”
