In keeping with the Milwaukee County Historical Society’s mission to collect, preserve, and promote our city’s history, we are introducing an award to recognize public art that holds exceptional historical significance. This award will highlight public art that not only enhances our city’s landscape but also fosters a sense of pride and belonging, serving as a testament to our shared history and identity.
Now that nominations have been received, a prestigious panel of jurors—Jeffrey Morin, President of the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design; Marcela Garcia, Executive Director of Walker’s Point Center for the Arts; and Andy Nunemaker, renowned art collector and advocate—will evaluate eligible submissions based on historical relevance, integration with surroundings, community impact, public engagement, and how well the artwork reflects local values and character.
The top nominations will be celebrated at the Janice and Stephen Marcus Public Art Award Ceremony on April 16th, 2025 from 5:00pm to 7:00pm, at the Milwaukee County Historical Society. During the event, the winner will be announced.
The public is invited to attend, Free Admission to the event!
