COMMUNITY EVENTS

Chalk-R-Lot is a fun-filled twist on a classic outdoor activity, celebrating African American art and culture through the use of sidewalk chalk. BCA will provide color chalk supplies and art references while Milwaukee-based visual artists assist kids and families with making chalk-art on the Gallery 507 parking lot. Drawing with sidewalk chalk is the perfect activity for a long summer day and fun for the whole family!

The vacant building at the corner of North Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive (the former DNR building) is being demolished this summer to make way for Milwaukee’s future African American Art Museum. While we develop plans for the new museum, we want your ideas on how we might use this space in the meantime.

Join us on Monday, August 18 from 12:00 – 2:00 p.m. at ThriveOn King (2153 N. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr.) for the next in-person Talkback Session.

A third Talkback Session will also occur. Further details, including event date, time and location, will be announced in the future.

In the meantime, we invite you to share your thoughts on how to use this new space using the community survey below, accessible via button or QR code. Be sure to share the survey with friends and family interested in the Bronzeville community and the future African American Art Museum!
