MIAD
The Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design
(MIAD) Gallery at the Ave., the first offsite
gallery for the college, opens April 6 at
301 W. Wisconsin Ave. with its inaugural
exhibition, From This Point Forward, which
runs April 6-July 1.
The exhibition, which takes its name from
a tagline for MIAD predecessor college
Layton School of art, celebrates a variety
of work, including sculptures, paintings,
installations, ceramics, printmaking,
textiles and photography, created by the
school's alumni over nearly five decades.
The artists featured have also shown their
work at regional, national and international
galleries. MIAD will celebrate its 50th
anniversary in 2024.
In addition to art exhibitions, MIAD
plans to use the 2,500-foot gallery
space for events and other community
programming. Consignment areas carry
artwork, crafted goods and more at
affordable prices.
Gallery hours are 11am-5pm Tuesday-

Tidbits
from Milwaukee's
Sarah Ball Allis Art Museum
The Charles Allis Art Museum, temporarily renamed
the Sarah Ball Allis Art Museum in honor of the wife
of Charles Allis, "celebrates femme, women and
nonbinary narratives in art and history" in its current
exhibit, according to marketing specialist Caroline
Dannecker.
The Sarah Ball Allis exhibit, which runs through
June 11, is curated by contributing artist Kate E.
Schaffer of the Everyday Feminist Art Collective and
highlights the work of local and international artists,
among them D. Denenge Duyst-Akpem, Michelle
Grabner and Pia Cruzalegui.
Dannecker noted that Schaffer "collaborated with
the museum to temporarily rename the institution
from the Charles Allis Art Museum to emphasize
Sarah's contributions and the patriarchal erasure of
women's narratives from history."
Museum visitors can also learn more about Sarah
Allis's life by viewing photographs, documents, and
rooms previously closed to the public, along with
historical works of art and sculptures.

Ball Allis museum and exhibit, visit charlesallis.org.
