gallery night: this weekend

Join us tomorrow night for the Historic Third Ward's Gallery Night! We will be hosting an amazing photographer, J Gilbert Cerveli, a local Milwaukee photographer. We are very familiar and very fond of Gil since his wife, MaryElise, has worked at Broadway Paper for over a year. Through extensive travel both in the United States and abroad, along with a passion for photography, Gil has the ability to capture amazing moments in time.




Gil has been in the photography business from young on. In fact, he comes from a family of professional photographers. His grandfather founded his own photography studio in 1912. His father expanded the business in Chicago and today, 99 years later, Gil’s photographic art continues to evolve.

For two days, Friday evening and Saturday, the whole neighborhood will be displaying their own favorite art. This event happens four times a year, and I can assure you this Gallery Night at Broadway Paper is not to be missed!

If you're worried you'll freeze to death, hop on the free Friday Gallery Night Xpress! There are six convenient stops throughout the Third Ward and East Town. The stops are as follows:

- 212 N. Milwaukee St. (in front of parking structure)
- The Pfister Hotel
- Hotel Metro
- InterContinental Milwaukee
- 401 N. Water St. (across from the Market)
- 225 E. Chicago St. (in front of parking structure)

J. Gilbert, Broadway Paper, and the Historic Third Ward hope to see you out and about for Gallery Night! And remember to dress warm!

spring gallery night

It's that time of the year... Tonight is Gallery Night in Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward. It's one of my favorite times of the year. People fill the streets and all of those yummy food carts are on every corner! I'm definitely working up an appetite for the evening... for food and art!

Broadway Paper is proud to display the work of Sylke Vonk. Vonk is a Milwaukee based children's photographer and tonight she will be displaying art from her current “Land of Childhood” series. The Land of Childhood Photography is photography of, about and for children.




Vonk will be here alongside her amazing work... It's a great chance to actually meet the artist! The art is already hanging in the store and looks beautiful! Definitely come by to take a look! Oh and on Saturday, kids can create a drawing and enter it into the “Who can draw the Wildest Thing” contest.

Join us:
Friday April 16th from 5 to 9 PM
Saturday April 17th from 12 to 4 PM
