Event Description

This is in conjunction with MAM's current Martin Ramirez exhibition (mam.org/ramirez), which collects works from one of the most brilliant self-taught artists of the past century. Ramirez managed to create a huge output of artwork even though his supplies were extremely limited, as he spent more than half of his life in psychiatric hospitals being treated for catatonic schizophrenia.

In keeping with the Cedar Block tradition of challenging Milwaukee-area artists to create new pieces in conjunction with a featured MAM exhibition, we've come up with a doozy this time around. To pay tribute to Ramirez and his difficult process, everyone participating in this event must create a new work of art using nothing more than what Cedar Block has given them in a box.30 artists picked up their "Ramirez boxes", and got to work on an original piece which will be on display at MAM for one night only.

$7 general public / $5 Museum members. All-ages.

If you could choose, would you prefer December or March to stay warm and snowless in Milwaukee?
December. I'm not ready for winter yet.
March. By then, I need winter to be over.
There's no use complaining or hoping for better weather in Wisconsin.
Actually, I like snow.
