The 2011 Milwaukee Avenue Arts Festival

During this year’s Milwaukee Avenue Arts Fest, The LSLR is excited to present its gallery exhibition Milwaukee Avenue: The Millennial Shift. The exhibit will be installed in the vacant storefront at 2634 N Milwaukee Avenue, and will be open for exhibition the entire weekend July 29 – 31.

The Exhibit

Milwaukee Avenue: The Millennial Shift is a map and printed media presentation that chronographs the shift of culture and arts up Milwaukee Avenue, into Logan Square, since the year 2000. Emerging galleries, theaters, studios and music venues, as well as neighborhood icons will be featured as continuing proof that Milwaukee Avenue remains the profound facilitator of commerce and community that it always has been. Milwaukee Avenue: The Millennial Shift provides a nostalgic look at the emerging and ever-changing arts culture on Milwaukee Avenue through an illustrated timeline composed of photographs, concert posters, and artist interviews.

The Milwaukee Avenue Arts Festival

This last weekend of July, Logan Square will host its annual Milwaukee Avenue Arts Festival. Events will take place between California and Kimball Avenues, in the heart of Logan Square’s commercial district. Festivities run July 29th from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. and continue throughout Saturday and Sunday from noon to 11 p.m.. This year’s festival features dozens of galleries, performing and musical artists, as well as food and drink brought to you by local eateries, food trucks and bars.
