On a sunny Valentine's Day Sunday, Bucketworks volunteer Ron Bean, 5 young people, 2 board members, and other volunteers (including myself) moved ArtWorks for Milwaukee into the new Bucketworks space.

We'd like to give them a warm Bucketworks welcome!

ArtWorks's mission and goals are aligned with our own.

Mission: 

"Provide meaningful employment and training through an apprenticeship program in the arts for Milwaukee area youth with and without disabilities."

Goals:

• Provide meaningful employment experiences to youth with and without disabilities, ages 14-21
• Provide a mentoring between youth with and without disabilities, and professional and established artists
• Increase public awareness of the importance of the arts and art education
• Foster cultural awareness and promote integration among students with and without disabilities
• Provide a professional art gallery and other exhibition opportunities for Apprentice work.

We are proud to become partners in our new space.

On Sunday, February 14th ArtWorks for Milwaukee will be making their home at the new Bucketworks space. ArtWorks will be moving out of their old space on 1421 N Water St at the Water Street Garage start at noon. They hope to spend the first hour packing up and moving out and arrive at Bucketworks around 1:00pm.

It's Valentine's Day, I know, but if you have a couple of hours to space we'd love to have some extra volunteer to help them move in, unpack, and settle in to the new space. Volunteers please email Jenn Turner or call 414-305-1324 x 702.
