Another Gallery Night

Spring Gallery Night was a was washout-literally. It was pouring when Roger & I met up with our friend Ned at Blutstein Brondino Fine Art in the Marshall Building (Ned knows the owner). We had some free snacks while talking to the owners. No free artwork tho. :) We went back to the car-parking was free for the first hour at the covered lot in the public market. We drove over to Walker's Point Center for the Arts and met up with our friend Jeri-she knows the owner there. They had some great labor inspired block prints (an example below). After a quick dinner at MONA's-we know the bartender-we went back to the public market for a carafe of wine and then to the Art Museum for MAM After Dark-free for members. Our membership is much cheaper than paying each time since we go monthly-and it's tax deductible! UWM & MIAD art students were presenting their projects-very interesting work. Saturday was the free open house at the Peck School of the Arts-a once a year public open house. You get to see art students and faculty in their studios. At night we went to the UWM cinema for a low-cost Italian film (since we are staff) and then to the Pabst theatre where we saw Peter Yarrow (of Peter, Paul, and Mary) for free since Roger is one of the ushers there.
