30th Anniversary Art Sale: Request for Artist Contributions
Milwaukee Riverkeeper invites local artists to help celebrate our 30th Anniversary by contributing an original piece of artwork centered on the theme “Protect What You Love.”
We’re seeking diverse interpretations inspired by the Milwaukee River Basin. Whether it’s the river’s wildlife, flowing waters, community gatherings, fishing, kayaking, or simply a peaceful moment by the shore, use your water story and personal connection to Milwaukee’s waters to inspire your piece.
Artist Benefits:
- 1 complimentary ticket to the event ($75 value)
- Milwaukee Riverkeeper will highlight and promote participating artists
- The estimated fair-market-value of final artwork donated is tax-deductible
Participating Artists will receive a 8″x8″ wooden art panel to create on, and may use any medium that fits the panel and can be safely exhibited.
Completed pieces will become part of a collective installation exhibited on October 9, 2025 during our Watershed Moments: 30 Years of Keeping Our Rivers anniversary event at the Ivy House in Milwaukee. Artwork will honor our rivers and communities while also serving as a fundraising opportunity for the organization. Attendees will be offered the opportunity to purchase and select an art panel during the event.
Panels must be returned to Milwaukee Riverkeeper no later than October 1, 2025 to be featured in the exhibit.
This is a unique way to lend your talents to a good cause. These art pieces will be featured as the voice of our waters and our communities during our 30th Anniversary event.
