4th annual ALL SORTS Holiday pop-up

The Temporary Mural Project is an outdoor 8'x 8' space on the East wall of Sky High that we utilize as a rotating public art space.

Selected Milwaukee artists are asked to create an 8' x 8' piece of work in their studio that is then installed on the wall for durations of approximately 3 months. These temporary murals are intended to brighten the community, promote creative growth and inspiration in our neighborhood. The mural project also gives the artist 24 street side exposure. Our long term goal is to find a outdoor location to reinstall 2 years worth of murals for the public to view at once.

Postcards of each mural are printed in small editions and available for free while supplies last in the shop. Come by and see it for yourself.

ABOUT US:

In July 2010 the stock room of Sky High Skateboard Shop became Sky High Gallery and we celebrated our grand opening. We feature rotating exhibits by contemporary emerging artists, screenings and events celebrating art makers & a yearly holiday pop-up shop. Sky High aims to inspire locally by bringing in fresh new work from around the world.

Gallery curator Faythe Levine & skate shop owner Aaron Polansky share a common vision for making their city a better place by building community through art, creativity and events centered around their neighborhood in the Bay View neighborhood of Milwaukee. Both the gallery & skate shop host events year round, please check back for updates often.
