Milwaukee, Wisconsin – March 2, 2015 — Riverwest Radio will host an evening with a silent and live art auction, music, and more on Sunday, March 8 from 5:30pm to 11pm at The Polish Falcon (801 E.

Artwork by Michelle Grabner, Paul Drueke, Scott Reeder, Tyson Reeder, Faythe Levine, Kim Miller, Peter Barrickman and many more will be available.
A preliminary online auction on eBay will take place March 1-7th.

Festivities will include food, and a cash bar. A $5 donation is suggested at the door.
Riverwest Radio (RWR) is an emerging non-profit whose mission is to provide a platform for community voices. This event will commemorate RWR’s third anniversary in addition to raising money for a radio tower and retooling the current studio at 824 E. Center Street into a full-fledged radio station. RWR currently hosts approximately 45 shows a week. In October the FCC awarded RWR a permit to construct a station to broadcast on FM.
