Milwaukee-based Shepherd Express article called The Economic Case for Public Art released today. Business Improvement Districts are investing in art, but what’s the return?
Sara Daleiden is quoted around committing to evaluation of public art from her work with business improvement districts, community development corporations (CDCs), government bodies and other arts partners in Milwaukee and Los Angeles.
1) 2019 Artist-in-Residence for Gathering Art, Stories and Place at Milwaukee Public Library Mitchell Street Branch: RFQ due October 21 through AWE. Please contact Katie Loughmiller at KMLough…at…milwaukee.gov or John Kowalczyk at john…at…awe-inc.org with any questions.
Artists Working in Education, Inc. in collaboration with Milwaukee Public Library Mitchell Street Branch as a part of the Gathering Art, Stories and Place NEA Our Town grant, is seeking an artist-in-residence to work collaboratively with teens, community members, and neighborhood experts to create two temporary public art installations and one permanent public art installation throughout 2019 that directly engages and benefits the Historic Mitchell Street Neighborhood.
Sara Daleiden of MKE<->LAX served as a key advisor along with other Beerline Trail Neighborhood Development Project leaders on this recently released Urban Institute report.
This report presents a case study of the Beerline Trail extension in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and how stakeholders used creative placemaking techniques to turn an unused rail corridor into an active, safe, and inclusive space for local residents. Using stakeholder interviews, reviews of planning documents and community survey data, and site visit observations, this case study illustrates how practitioners can use creative placemaking techniques to bridge the gap between disparate communities and improve public safety and quality of life.

There will be a brief presentation at the beginning of the meeting, followed by an opportunity to talk with the study team and other residents in small groups about preliminary design ideas.
The proposed, future King Drive/ Bronzeville extension of the Milwaukee Streetcar has the potential to connect people to jobs, attract new businesses, bring new housing options, and improve public open spaces. The City of Milwaukee and the Historic King Drive Business Improvement District are planning for how to ensure residents and business benefit from the potential changes that improved transit could bring to the neighborhood. The only way to make this study successful is to hear from residents. Please attend and bring a neighbor!
Please attend and tell us:
Where transit oriented development should occur and what it should look like
What housing options residents need in their neighborhood
How to make the neighborhood better for walking
This meeting is the third of several community workshops planned. Additional details about the event and the project are on the attached flyer.
A light dinner will be served. We appreciate your time in helping shape the future of your neighborhood.
Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for this event should contact the City of Milwaukee ADA Coordinator at (414) 286-3475 or ADACoordinator@milwaukee.gov as least 72 hours beforehand.
