Local Arts
The Charles Allis Art Museum is a vibrant, urban center for Wisconsin artists and continually strengthens and supports the Milwaukee community by elevating the visibility and prestige of local talent through its sponsorship of changing exhibitions featuring Wisconsin artists. The Allis emphasizes fine art, drawing, painting, photography, printmaking and sculpture.
In addition to the visual arts the Allis displays, it holds a free seasonal music series, Allis After Hours. The third Thursday of the month throughout the spring, summer and fall, the Allis holds a jazz concert in the English Garden or Margaret Rahill Great Hall. The musicians featured are Milwaukee artists, in accordance with the Allis's mission to showcase Wisconsin talent.
The Charles Allis Art Museum, along with the Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum, is part of the Milwaukee County War Memorial Corporation.
