MAM After Dark: Jan Lievens on a Jet Plane
Friday Night, February 20 from 5pm to midnight
It’s always an adventure when the Milwaukee Art Museum collaborates with the events-planning organization Cedar Block. Jan Lievens on a Jet Plane, inspired by the exhibition Jan Lievens: A Dutch Master Rediscovered, pays tribute to the seventeenth-century portrait painter and world traveler—a contemporary of Rembrandt’s hailed for his innovative style.
Though nearly four hundred years have passed since the Old Master wielded his artistic prowess, a group of Milwaukee’s best and brightest artists have accepted the challenge to bring Lievens into the modern age. Taking their cue from Lievens’ portrait paintings, the artists will incorporate the latest technology into their original works —including a number of interactive exhibits—as they consider the current state of portraiture and what it may look like in the future. The artworks will be unveiled at 8 p.m.
Coinciding with the monthly MAM After Dark series, this event will also offer music delivered by a variety of DJs, DIY studio (where you can make and take your own art), cash bar, light hors d’oeuvres, and after-hours access to the newly opened Jan Lievens exhibition. The Museum Store will also be open late.

March 6th to April 13th - Opening reception Friday, March 6th from 7pm to 9pm
The show will feature work inspired by the idea of "The End". Whether it's the end of everything, mankind, the world, Or maybe just the end of the artist, i.e.. how they will "go out". Maybe the phrase inspires a post-apocalyptic view so "The End" painting could be an example of what it is like after...
