Episode 96 - Bay View Gallery Night and public art

In 2011, Milwaukee artist Jeff Redmon and Made In Milwaukee's
Chuck Watson put their heads together on an annual event meant to
bring artists and Bay View businesses together. Bay View Gallery
Night was born. Entering its seventh year, the one-night
undertaking is bigger, better, and more wide-reaching than ever.
Along the way, they joined forces with Bay View Jazz Fest as
well. On June 2, Bay View Gallery Night will return with more
than 50 Bay View (and Bay View-adjacent) businesses, close to 100
artists, 30-plus jazz projects, and 12 music venues combining for
the affair. Prior to the event, host Tyler Maas met up with
Redmon and Watson to discuss the history of Bay View Gallery
Night, how it has grown and developed over the years, and how
Milwaukee supports its artists (and decides to fund public art).
The trio also talked about the great Arte Para Todos benefit,
which Watson and Redmon help organize.
