Please join us and/or share news of the Magnificent Pierce Student Art Show opening this Thursday from 5-7 at the Jazz Gallery, 926 E Center St.
The show is a celebration of the students and art instructor at Franklin Pierce elementary school in Riverwest. On display will be a wide variety of student works including a site specific mural. In the face of MPS cuts to its art programming, these wonderful young artists continue to create works from their hearts and vivid imaginations. The show will run through June 5. The Jazz Gallery is open Thursday evenings from 5-8 and Saturdays from noon to 5 when there is a show installed.
The Riverwest Artists Association is pleased to host a celebration of the good work of Laura Niemi and her students, and regret the news that her position is one of many lost to district budget cuts next year.
As promised, here are the photos from our One Year Anniversary Showcase that was held on April 30, 2010. Click below to enjoy the photoset on Flickr, or just peruse the slideshow embedded on this page!

We are proud to announce our partnership with Capoeria Nagô Milwaukee – they are working with us to provide the unique dance and martial art form to our youth!
Capoeira Nagô Milwaukee is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to spreading Brazilian culture throughout the Midwest, principally through the art of capoeira.
Capoeira is a unique Brazilian art form that combines elements of martial arts, dance, music and acrobatics. Capoeira was developed in Brazil, but its history extends to Africa and tribes from Angola. Slaves living on Brazilian plantations who weren’t allowed to openly practice traditional forms of self-defense developed an ingenious method of disguising their training by combining it with dance-like movements, singing, and the rhythms of primitive instruments. The result was a “game” of fluid ground movements, spinning kicks, and daring acrobatics set to the energetic clapping and singing of spectators.
Today, capoeira is an international sensation: in fact, it is the second most played sport in the world, second only to soccer.
Lisa has been featured on the cover of Citigal Magazine, she’s a local philanthropist very active in our community, as well as a social networking guru. We are very excited to have her working with us!!!
“I am so honored to be co-hosting with Annie B for the 1-year Anniversary of Milwaukee Art Beat. It is great being involved with an organization that helps promote and showcase our local artists!” Lisa states.
Lisa’s online networking site: http://LisasList.org is a site where locals engage in business and social networking. She hosts networking events on a regular basis, so visit her site and find an event you’re interested in, and meet Lisa!!
We are very pleased to have her join us and, we hope YOU will join us on April 30th at the Hide House as well, for the only arts show of its kind!!
