The Alice Wilds is honored to be a part of Queering the Cream City, a public art exhibition in Milwaukee, Wisconsin organized by Vaughan Larsen and SaveArtSpace.org with an opening on Friday, July 23 from 5-8PM.

This exhibition is an extension of That Way, an Instagram account and printed zine created and curated by Vaughan Larsen, featuring weekly takeovers of LGBTQ+ artists. This exhibition takes place simultaneously on outdoor billboards and on the walls of The Alice Wilds. The show replaces ads on billboards with art, adding work by twelve contemporary LGBTQ+ artists to the streets of Milwaukee, and features fourteen additional artists in the gallery; both will be on view from July 23 – August 23, 2021.

This is Wisconsin’s first ever billboard art exhibition featuring work exclusively made by LGBTQ+ artists! 

The Queering the Cream City selected artists for billboards are Noah Tesmer, Lois Bielefeld, Alejandro Jūnyáo Zhāng, Jova Lynne, Matt Gold, AJ Morley, Skyler Pham, Lidia Sharapova, Isla P Gordon, Anje Thomas, Ashley Kaye and Va-Bene Elikem K. Fiatsi, and Salgu Wissmath. The selected artists for The Alice Wilds gallery include Marval A Rex, Jamie Ho, Ben Herbert, Angela Piehl, Bo Hubbard, Daniel Roa, Kostis Fokas, Dustin Steuck, Cai Quirk, Libby Oliver, Liz Albert and Shane VanOosterhout, Cloudy Moroni, Roy Larmour, and Anwar Mahdi.

This exhibition was graciously curated by Vaughan Larsen, T.J. Dedeaux-Norris, and Laurence Philomene.

During the week of July 19, SaveArtSpace will launch public art installations for each selected billboard artist on billboard ad spaces throughout Milwaukee. Check your inboxes soon for future emails featuring all the billboard locations.
