Join the Milwaukee County Historical Society on April 16, 2025, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. for the inaugural Janice and Stephen Marcus Public Art Award Ceremony, celebrating public art that enriches Milwaukee’s history and identity. During the event, the Milwaukee County Historical Society will honor three outstanding finalists, with the winner announced live. This year’s finalists include Sherman Park Rising by Tia Richardson in Sherman Park, Green Flow by Pamela Scesniak on Brady Street, and Mural of Peace by Reynaldo Hernandez in Walker’s Point.

The evening will feature a formal award presentation, remarks from distinguished jurors—Jeffrey Morin, President of the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design; Marcela Garcia, Executive Director of Walker’s Point Center for the Arts; and Andy Nunemaker, renowned art collector and advocate—along with live music, appetizers, and a cash bar.
