History

Established in 1987.

In April of 1987 a handful of visionary women started operating in a small storefront gallery on South 5^th Street, the heart of a working class Milwaukee neighborhood. Venturing into one of the city’s most historic and economically challenged neighborhoods, they pushed to serve those struggling to secure a better life for themselves and their families.
