Despite the streak of cold and dreariness in Milwaukee lately, spring has officially arrived. And while summer festival season still seems like it’s a lifetime away, there are few great spring arts staples happening in town to help bridge the gap between now and full-fledged festival season. One such event is Gallery Night MKE, a free happening that offers folks an opportunity to partake in “gallery hopping and art viewing” over the course of two nights in April.

Spring Gallery Night MKE will take place at a total of 28 locations on Friday, April 22 and Saturday, April 23. Many of the participating galleries and businesses are located in the Historic Third Ward, but there are also Walker’s Point, East Town, and Menomonee River Valley establishments taking part in this year’s festivities.

For more information on this spring’s installment, you can visit Gallery Night MKE’s website or download the “Gallery Night MKE” app in the Apple App or Google Play stores. You can also find more information in the press release below.
