MILWAUKEE — Attention Milwaukee artists! If you're looking for a chance to show off your art, look no further.
Milwaukee Downtown, BID #21 and The Avenue are seeking submissions for "a mural in the sky" in Westown. The intended canvas will be the south-facing facade of the 2nd Street skywalk between Wisconsin Avenue and Michigan Street. The dimensions of this canvas are 92 feet wide by 15 feet high.
