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.

MARN and our featured artist invite the public to participate in this exhibition by contributing to a large canvas in the gallery – on Thursday and Friday nights in March, guests are welcome to paint their interpretation of romance, and in particular, what it means to have a crush on someone.

The Milwaukee Artist Resource Network is pleased to host “2024: Behind the Queen,” presented by the Edessa School of Fashion, on view from January 5th–February 25th. This exhibition is an exploration into the world of drag captured on film photography by Leonardt Horák.

THE MARKETPLACE EXHIBITION showcases over 60 of the Milwaukee Artist Resource Network’s artist Members, and demonstrates the inspiring range of their creative potential. We invite the community to explore and shop this amplified extension of MARN’s MARKETPLACE––a feast for the senses that will sprawl delightfully throughout the entire HUB from December 2nd–December 24th, with additional programming featured on select weekends in December.

MARN is delighted to present, ‘GOOD WOOD’ an immersive craft exhibition dedicated to showcasing the rich tradition of local woodworking and the talents of our community's skilled artisans. GOOD WOOD runs from Friday, October 27 - November 12, 2023.

Chicano Power pays homage to the depth, perseverance, defiance, and celebration of Chicanismo by bringing together its origins, recent history, and contemporary creatives in a multi-faceted experience through the complexity of the artist’s perspectives. This is meant to open up a conversation on Chicanismo not just as an identity, but as a political statement, a practice, and a piece of history.
