Besides bringing the best of contemporary poetry and music to the Milwaukee arts scene, Woodland Pattern also hosts the Experimental Film and Video Series. The series presents 10-12 screenings of experimental film per year on the last Friday of the month. Carl Bogner, a 43-year-old instructor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, has curated the series for the past five years. Bogner has also programmed the Milwaukee Gay and Lesbian Film Festival for the past eight years.
Citywide Arts Festival Planned
In an effort to get the community to recognize the role of the arts in our lives and have fun celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Milwaukee High School of the Arts, MHSA Marketing Director Heather Aldrich is spearheading the ExperienceArt 2005 RiverWalk.

Artists for Social Change and the Sojourner Truth House have issued a call for artists, musicians, sponsors, and donations for an upcoming event at Milwaukee’s Historic Turner Hall.
