hey, thanks!
Black Box Fund would like to thank Milwaukee’s artists, non-profits and community creatives for supporting Cracking Art and our Out of the Box events at Lakeshore State Park for six weeks of programs, performance, poetry, pets, polka and beyond! Our birds were photographed and enjoyed by over 70,000 people. You wrote haikus, learned to kayak, adopted pets, learned about our native lands and how to respect our earth by making and reusing bags, you got OUT. OF. THE. BOX. We are grateful to our sponsors and to our community. Thank You.
Stay tuned in to our social media channels for what’s up next!
