SWAN Day MKE

SWAN (Support Women Artists Now) Day MKE - An annual exhibition advocating for gender parity in the arts and celebration of Milwaukee women's creativity! Over the past five years, hundreds of women-identified artists of all ages, disciplines and levels of artistic experience residing in Milwaukee and surrounding areas have participated in an informal, non-juried celebration and exhibition. SWAN Day celebrations occur internationally in March as part of Women’s History Month.  SWAN Day MKE partners each year with a local non-profit or cause to support women’s equality in all parts of life. SWAN Day MKE exhibitions explore broader themes of women’s artistic and spiritual connections to the environment, society, and each other, and how these roots nourish one’s work, activism and daily living. The feeling of support from each event is palpable and real change has happened for many folx who have participated and attended. Networking via SWAN Day MKE has lead to participants’ access to employment, exhibition opportunities, sales, studios, workshops, artist collaborations and supportive friendships.
