SWAN Day Milwaukee, now in its third year, invited women artists to explore women’s artistic and spiritual connections to nature, and how these roots nourish one’s work, activism and daily living. The response has been amazing and dozens of new artists will be included in this year’s exhibit and opening celebration.  Each piece in the exhibit is accompanied by artist statements designed to reflect and inspire self-empowerment.

The opening reception will feature a range of artists including poet Linetta Davis, Kathak and Bollywood dancer Cyenthia Vijayakumar,  remarks by Latinas Unidas en Las Artes (LUNA),  story-teller Monica Thomas, a mini-crafts market, face-painting and more!

SWAN Day Milwaukee Celebration & Exhibit – Opening Reception, Saturday, March 24 from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.  The exhibit runs through May 31, 2018 at the Urban Ecology Center, 3700 W Pierce St, Milwaukee, WI 53215. Free. Read more on the SWAN Calendar>>
