Downtown Milwaukee to host “Inside Out Project: Citizenship for U.S.” on 16-city public art tour
Photo booth truck to visit Chase Tower at Water and Wisconsin on August 27
MILWAUKEE (August 24, 2021) – Milwaukee Downtown, BID #21 will close out its Jumpst(ART) Downtown summer campaign with a visit from the largest global participatory art project. The Inside Out Project, an international exhibition by French artist JR, will visit Chase Tower at Water and Wisconsin, 111 E. Wisconsin Ave., on Friday, Aug. 27. The stop marks the start of a 16-city tour across the U.S., which is intended to create a portrait of America that highlights both our diversity and unity. Milwaukeeans are invited to participate in the project by having their photo taken from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Chase Tower at Water and Wisconsin. Portrait installation and live music will continue until 6:30 p.m.
The portraits are intended to be a reminder that behind the policies are real people with real stories that include all Americans – citizens, immigrants, and indigenous. The project provides communities and local leaders a unique platform to amplify their voices and urge Congress to move the country forward with solutions by creating a path to citizenship.
The public will also be able to enjoy live local performances on the plaza throughout the day, in addition to free popsicles from Pete’s Pops.
