Target Free First Thursday is November 7<\/strong>
\nFirst chance to see<\/em> Thomas Sully: Painted Performance for free<\/em><\/p>\n

Milwaukee, Wis.<\/strong> \u2013 The Milwaukee Art Museum\u2019s next monthly Target Free First Thursday is set for Thursday, November 7, 2013. Admission is free for all individuals, and it is the public\u2019s first opportunity to see Thomas Sully: Painted Performance<\/em> for free.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to be able to offer this opportunity to our visitors,\u201d said Museum director Daniel Keegan. \u201cThe Museum\u2019s feature exhibition, Thomas Sully: Painted Performance<\/em><\/a>, includes over seventy works from an American master painter, and the subjects behind the portraits, including President Andrew Jackson, Queen Victoria, and actress Fanny Kemble, are as intriguing as the works themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Opening on November 7 is the latest in the Currents series. Best known for his exquisite depictions of crashed cars, Currents 36: Dirk Skreber<\/em><\/a> will include several of the artist\u2019s large-scale paintings, a monumental outdoor sculpture, and the American museum debut of his video work Turgidity (2012). A Gallery Talk with Skreber<\/a> is scheduled for 6:15 p.m.<\/p>\n

Target Free First Thursdays<\/a> provides all Museum visitors with free admission on the first Thursday of each month. The Museum is open Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Future Target Free First Thursday dates include December 5, 2013 and January 2, 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Target, our local grants are making a difference in the communities we serve,\u201d said Laysha Ward, president, community relations, Target. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to partner with the Milwaukee Art Museum as part of our ongoing commitment to give back to the communities where our guests and team members live and work.\u201d<\/p>\n
