Milwaukee, WI – ArtWorks for Milwaukee is excited to host the 7th annual Night by the River benefit on Friday, October 23rd from 6:00-9:00pm. Night by the River will be held at Zimmerman Architectural Studios in the Menomonee Valley.
Guests will enjoy a wide variety of food and beverage samplings from some of Milwaukee’s finest establishments. A highlight of the evening will be the opportunity to meet ArtWorks for Milwaukee’s teen interns and hear about the impact that ArtWorks has had on their lives.
Throughout the evening, guests can bid on live and silent auction items. This year’s silent auction includes decorated furniture created by teams of ArtWorks intern alumni and lead artists. A gallery of art created by ArtWorks interns will also be available for viewing and purchase. New this year, we have a raffle where the winner will receive a 5-Night Stay at the Westin Resort & Spa Cancun with Airfare for two.
