Dinner Program: Fishmonger with a Camera Portraits of a Wisconsin Family Fish Business
Thursday, April 28
5:00 - 7:00 p.m.

This visual history of Empire Fish and commercial fishing tell a larger story beyond a single company. It captures the anthropological changes of Milwaukee: its culture, food, religion and demographics. On a larger scale, it embodies the incredible transformation in our relationship to Lake Michigan and the Great Lakes.
Join us for dinner and a show: $20 for members, $25 for non-members. Get your tickets on our website or by calling Kathy at (920) 448-7847 before they're gone!

Lock in your spot today!
|

Have you ever wanted to go to space? Build your own racecar? Create an artistic masterpiece? Design a museum exhibit all about you? Come to Neville Summer Camp!
Week 1 - June 27 to June 30
We’ll start the week learning all about dinosaurs and other ancient creatures, how conflict and cooperation has led us to the rise of civilizations, how science helps us learn about the natural world, and end the week blasting off to outer space!
Week 2 - July 25 to July 28
This week is all about building and design! Put your creative mind to work as you construct and test racecars, bridges, towers, and more! Get messy with paint, modeling dough and slime, and use artifacts from home to create an exhibit all about your story.

What's Your Function?
Now open!
|
|
Artists were asked to explore the theme of “functional” artwork – from a table to a teapot or a tool – or by simply bringing joy with beauty. The idea of “functional” art doesn’t have to be obvious; it could be as simple as a painting on a wall. You might be thinking: “what function does a painting serve?” It could be to make you think, to provoke emotion, to bring joy, to cover a hole in the wall, or even cause a giggle! Be sure to read the artist statements to learn more about each piece.
The NWTC Artisan and Business Center is in the Olde Main Arts District promoting the appreciation and awareness of art through collaborative partnerships, year-round credit and non-credit classes, as well as open studio and studio rentals.
