Welcome!

Please join us in expanding resources about Milwaukee's public art. This effort has been active in Milwaukee since Fall 2010 with support from the Milwaukee Arts Board. Our goal is to share accurate information (including art historical details, geolocation, dimensions, materials, and ownership) about every public artwork in the city.

If you are new to Wikipedia or our project, please be sure to take advantage of the resources organized here (see tabs immediately above). You'll find instructions on how to use our article template, how to upload images, and how to improve existing coverage of public art in Wikipedia.

THANK YOU to the many college students at UWM, MIAD, and Alverno who have already assisted with research and article creation as part of their coursework. Extra special thanks to User:Lonibug and User:gabrielleducharme for their excellent project assistance!

Current tasks

Please help edit the live articles on Milwaukee public art, many of which are very brief. The navigation template below provides links to all articles our project has developed to date. Articles may need more art historical detail, location information, images, or wikilinks.
Please add geolocational information to existing articles.
If you are interested in developing a new article on public art in Milwaukee please use the list below to indicate your intentions. Coordinating work here will 1) help reduce duplication of effort and 2) build collaboration among volunteer Wikipedia editors.
Use the tabs above to access resources to make researching writing your article easier and more fun. You'll find information about working with images, references, and categories.
See the list of public art in Milwaukee for more information about individual works.
