The Milwaukee Artist Resource Network is pleased to host a Closing Ceremony in celebration of our current exhibition by Anna Rose Menako on Friday, March 29th from 5-8pm! 

We invite the public to enjoy specialty cocktails with the artist as she paints and responds to a participatory composition created by guests throughout the month of March. The prompt guiding this composition is “How do you interpret romance? What does it mean to you to have a crush on someone, and what does that look like?”

About

But Soft, Sweet, and Dreamy centers around Anna Rose Menako’s most recent series of mixed media watercolors and hints at the interdisciplinary nature of her practice. Her new body of work, The Crush Series, encapsulates the innocent and timeless feeling of having a crush, and ushers in springtime as it blooms in the MARN ART + CULTURE HUB.

Anna Rose Menako is a Midwest-based visual artist who dabbles in music, performance and wearable arts. In addition to her work as a muralist since 2020, she has more recently returned to her roots in painting and drawing.

Check our calendar  for more ways to engage in this exhibition throughout the month of March, and follow the artist’s process on her Instagram.
