For the fourth year in a row, a collective of women artists is honoring influential women through original art. In the new show — Mothers of Our Nations — local artists in the group “From Here to Her” have teamed up with women-led organizations in Milwaukee to create their artwork. Paintings, 3-D sculpture and original video will be on

For four weeks in a row, we’ve made it to church. At least in our on-air feature, Urban Spelunking. Over the last month, OnMilwaukee’s Bobby Tanzilo has been touring and writing about four Catholic parishes taking part in an event called VIP MKE (VIP stands for Very Important Parishes, by the way), and he joined me

While each person may have their own explanation, Metzger, while dressed in dried blood and full military gear, gave me the best answer, “[There are] all different parts of life, you’re happy sometimes, you’re sad sometimes…. scare builds up that emotion of fear and a reaction. It excites people. It builds up adrenaline and energy.”

Coming up on November 5th, four Milwaukee-area churches are opening their doors and inviting you in. Organized by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, the day-long event — VIP MKE — will grant access to areas not normally seen by parishioners. VIP, short for “Very Important Parishes,” will also provide shuttle service connecting each church. So, leading up to the

Broken into four sections — Hidden in Plain Sight, Hidden in History, Hidden Beneath, and Hidden Forever — the exhibit puts on display items from the museum’s collection not normally seen.

Stroll through the Milwaukee Public Museum, and you’ll probably notice everything just seems to “pop.” The buffalo hunt exhibit, the African Savanna, the first floor muskrats — they’re all depicted in 3-D diorama, a moment frozen in time. Most notable are the Streets of Old Milwaukee, the museum’s — and the world’s — first fully immersive diorama exhibit. But it

An old building in the Bronzeville neighborhood has a new owner, and soon, will embark on the next chapter of its storied life. The Milwaukee Youth Arts Center has acquired the former Baasen House with plans to expand its campus into the building, located directly across the street from its current location at 4th and Walnut St. And

What comes to mind when you think about comic books? In today’s changing society, some may see the comic book industry (and the “superhero industry” in general) as pretty stagnant: macho white guys, tight outfits, pretty girls… But thanks to a group of Milwaukee comic book lovers, that stigma is trying to be changed. ‘The

And at the end of the day, the Gloss team says that their job speaks to the Milwaukee music scene more than anything. “We’re in Milwaukee and, I mean, I’m sure there are a lot of other cities that are very similar to this, but there’s such a diverse style of music happening in this

“Ideas worth spreading” — that’s the slogan for TED and its popular series of ‘TED Talks” seen online and around the world. The “talks” are often thought-provoking and wide-ranging, but they aren’t the easiest to attend in person.  Programmed as part of an annual conference, the ticket price is high, and seats are limited.
