Jack Earl, one of the first Arts/Industry artists-in-residence, said the Arts/Industry residency in the Kohler Co. factory felt like a “mad dash at something.” Mad Dash: 50 Years of Arts/Industry is a chronological installation of artworks, letters, photographs, and promotional materials dating from 1974 to the present. It reveals the origin and history of Arts/Industry through the artists themselves.

Every artist donates an object made during their residency to the John Michael Kohler Arts Center’s collection. Mad Dash presents artworks from this collection to encapsulate the experience of art making within Kohler Co. and highlight various stages of the artists’ careers.

The West Allis Farmers Market offers a wide variety of seasonal produce, fresh meats and eggs, honey and maple syrup, fresh-cut flowers and annual plants, and prepared foods. Each year the Farmers Market is open from the first Saturday in May through the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We are open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from noon to 5 p.m. and on Saturdays from 1 – 5 p.m. Please note we are closed Independence Day and Thanksgiving Day.

Since 1974, over five hundred artists have participated in the Arts Center’s Arts/Industry residency. The program, operated in collaboration with Kohler Co., offers artists the time and space to focus on the creation of new work in the company’s pottery and foundry studios. As part of the Arts Center’s celebration of Arts/Industry’s fiftieth anniversary, the twelve artists in residence at the Kohler Co. factory during 2024 will exhibit their work in a yearlong group exhibition, Clocking In: 2024 Arts/Industry Residents.

The exhibition will present four residents’ work at a time, in rotations of approximately four months each.

Over the last 10 years, the number of women in senior leadership has steadily increased, and these women are reshaping the workplace and inspiring a new generation. According to the 2024 Women in the Workplace Report by LEAN IN, women held just 17% of C-suite positions in 2015, but that number has now risen to an impressive 29% in 2024. These advancements not only reflect progress but also highlight the growing influence of women in driving change across various industries.

Join us for an engaging panel discussion featuring prominent Milwaukee female entrepreneurs and industry leaders who have made notable contributions to their fields. This event will spotlight their journeys and explore how they have utilized peer networks and mentorship to navigate challenges and achieve success. Through candid conversations, these trailblazing women will share valuable insights on the role of support systems in their careers, offering inspiration and practical advice for leveraging professional relationships for growth and empowerment.

Join us at the Oriental Theatre for a film screening and post-film talk with artist and director Robert Longo on his only major studio film to date: 1995’s "Johnny Mnemonic." Set in a dystopian 2021, Johnny (played by Keanu Reeves), is a data courier, literally carrying a data package inside his head, that he must deliver before he dies from the burden. After the screening, Longo and Academy Award-winning director John Ridley will talk about how the film’s 2021 rerelease enables a new examination of the film and connects to his current studio practice.

(For adults & teens) Join a casual community potluck and stay for a presentation on the food systems that nourish our lives together. Abbey June Schwartz, a local Cheese Monger, who has excelled in the craft for over 6 years will be discussing what her experience has been like in front lines of this massive Wisconsin industry.
