Expert Series: Philanthropy and the Arts Ecosystem
January 15, 2026, 6:15 pm–7:15 pm
What does the future of the arts look like—and who shapes it? Join us for a dynamic conversation that uncovers how philanthropy transforms the cultural landscape. Hear from leading voices as they explore the dynamics behind funding, the evolving role of institutions, and what it all means for the artists, organizations, and the communities at the heart of it.
This program is presented in conjunction with the special exhibitions The Bradley Collection of Modern Art: A Bold Vision for Milwaukee and Looking Forward: New Gifts of Art, which highlight the transformative power of visionary giving in the arts.
This drop-in program is included with Museum admission and free for Members. Tickets available at the door or online.
