Lakefront Festival of the Arts Silent Auction 2011

Both inside the Museum and under cover of a state-of-the-art tent, festival goers can visit one-on-one with the artists as they explore the jewelry, paintings, ceramics, metalwork, and more in the different booths. Rain or shine, there are a number of activities on the Museum grounds, from hands-on, interactive fun in the expanded Children's Area, featuring the PNC Grow Up Great Mobile Learning Adventure, to live music, the Milwaukee Magazine Wine Garden, Silent Art Auction, sculpture garden, food offerings, and more.

Discover work by more than 180 jury-selected artists at this year's nationally recognized Lakefront Festival of Arts (LFOA). Browse the handcrafted creations and purchase the perfect piece (or pieces) for you! And new for this year, in keeping with the Museum's theme for the summer, LFOA is hosting five artists from China. "The festival provides a perfect opportunity for Chinese and American artists to exhibit side by side," says Larry Oliverson, Friends of Art president. "Art speaks a universal language that crosses continents and cultures."
