The lineup is here for Milwaukee’s largest local music event. Arte Para Todos 2018 will feature around 70 acts at 30 venues spread throughout Walker’s Point, Bay View, Harambee, Riverwest, and the East Side this April 26-29.
Check out the lineup below.
Arte Para Todos (art for everyone) was created as an answer to the defunding of art and music programming in schools. In 2017, they won Radio Milwaukee's 2017 Humanitarian Award. In its first three years, the festival raised over $60,000, all donated to Milwaukee schools for art programs.
Beyond giving money to the arts, Arte Para Todos brings local artists into schools for performances, curates an annual music compilation and brings together visual artists to create the posters for each event.
