The Milwaukee Art Museum’s 2014 Lakefront Festival of Art (LFOA) – celebrates its 52nd year this summer. The Festival, which features more than 175 artists, opens on the grounds of the Museum Friday, June 20 and runs through Sunday, June 22. The 2014 Festival is presented by Quad/Graphics and Milwaukee Magazine and is one of the top 20 art festivals in the country as recognized by Art Fair Sourcebook.
In addition to the variety of artists’ booths, including jewelers, painters, sculptors, photographers and more, LFOA offers family-friendly activities, such as live music, refreshments and the PNC Children’s Experience, featuring drama performances and hands-on art projects designed especially for kids of all ages.
For adult audiences, gourmet food will be available as well as libations at both the Milwaukee Magazine Wine Garden, which sits beneath the world-famous Calatrava-designed Burke Brise Soleil, and the Blue Moon Beer sampling area. While enjoying refreshments, attendees can peruse a sculpture garden created by Hawks Landscape or bid on donated pieces of art at the silent auction, which closes Sunday, June 22.
Funds raised from LFOA support the Museum’s world-class exhibitions including the summer’s feature exhibition, Kandinsky: A Retrospective, which showcases 100 works of art from modern master Wassily Kandinsky.
