Milwaukee Art Museum programs are back

MILWAUKEE – The Milwaukee Museum of Art greets visitors with a sense of normalcy. Check out some of the events they have coming up this spring.

“Art in Bloom kicks off spring at the Milwaukee Art Museum,” said Courtney Kihslinger, Events Director.

The extravagant floral event is one of many attractions returning to the Milwaukee Art Museum this year.

“This year we have timed ticketing which is advance booking and we are asking everyone to go to our website to purchase their tickets in advance. ‘welcome the city back into the museum and celebrate spring that way,’ Kihslinger said.

Nearly thirty local florists come together and create their interpretations of different works of art around the gallery.

“We are so happy to have her back. It’s a great interaction with the city, the museum and the flower industry,” said Emily Neubauer, owner of Bellefiore Flower Shop.

Also back – Kohl’s Art Studio has reopened and is ready to welcome families back for fun art projects.

“Families can come with their kids and make art. We have the teachers and supplies ready for you,” said Emily Sullivan, director of youth and family programs.

Until July, many artistic activities will be based on the Christy Matson textile art exhibition.

“You can weave in the studio, check out his weaves, go back and forth and make a day out of it,” Sullivan said.

Kohl’s Art Studio is now open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

The Art in Bloom event runs from April 7-10.
