#BronzevilleSummer: Our Milwaukee Experience is an inaugural series in the Bronzeville Cultural and Entertainment District presented by Friends of Bronzeville in collaboration with City of Milwaukee, Ald. Milele Coggs, Jazale’s Art Studio, CUPED Corporation, and MKE<->LAX. As a way to connect large community events already happening in the district (Juneteenth, Garfield Days Festival, Jazz in the Hood, Jazale’s Art Studio Youth Programs and Cultural Events, and Bronzeville Week), #BronzevilleSummer is the umbrella that brings it all together under a unified vision. This public program series will celebrate African-American culture by focusing on local creative entrepreneurial talent with art performances and installations, markets for youth and adults including a business summit, and health, wellness and housing resources.
In connection with our #BronzevilleSummer and in honor of African American Bone Marrow Awareness month, we welcome having you shake it with us soon…

perception. by Boston-based artist, Katie Loughmiller, explores 21st century notions of identity, origin, and labelling. It is a performance in three parts exploring how we perceive others and ourselves in terms of the racial/ethnic “boxes” that have been created over time.
To date, perception. has been performed twice. First at Little House Gallery in Los Angeles, CA and at Gwarlingo Salon in conjunction with 24 Blackbird in Harrisville, NH. It is scheduled to be performed in New York City at Hot Wood Arts Center in Red Hook, Brooklyn in July.
perception. will begin promptly at 7:00pm and runs about 30 minutes long. An informal dialogue will follow immediately after.
Katie Loughmiller is an interdisciplinary artist exploring storytelling through performance, writing and video. Loughmiller is particularly interested in conversational dialogue and stories centered around cultural complexity and female identity. Loughmiller received her undergraduate degree at the Gallatin School of Individualized Study at New York University and completed her Master of Fine Arts degree in the Public Practice program at Otis College of Art & Design. Loughmiller and her participatory performance piece, “Perform With Me” was featured on Ear Meal, a live streaming and archived webcast platform based in Los Angeles. Loughmiller has performed her most current performance piece perception. in Los Angeles, New Hampshire and will soon perform it in Milwaukee and New York City. Loughmiller has been an artist in residence at Atlantic Center for the Arts, Vermont Studio Center, Wildacres Residency Program and is currently an artist in residence at MKE<->LAX.

Along with the Milwaukee Artist Resource Network and the Chicago Artist Coalition, I am co-organizing another MKE<->CHI regional poetics discussion at Chicago Artist Coalition on Wednesday, June 29 from 6-8pm.
I encourage you to walk Historic Mitchell Street this Saturday, June 18 starting at dusk for Temporary Resurfacing. Many artists who have engaged with MKE<->LAX residencies and programs are participating in this amazing outdoor multi-video projection event, including currently Los Angeles-based, formerly Milwaukee-based Mark Escribano, one of my dear core collaborators.
Mary Miss is one of my all time favorite artists. I am excited she is developing this Watermarks project in MKE. You or someone you know may be interested in the part-time position through Marquette to be a project coordinator:
