Steam Roller MKE 2021

WHO, WHAT, WHY

STEAMROLLER (https://www.facebook.com/steamrollermke) is a multi-arts, community engagement event to support youth outreach and programming. By creatives, for creatives; local artists, businesses, and educators coming together to celebrate and amplify the arts and expose local residents, students, and professionals to creative entrepreneurs and career pathways.

12 local and regional artists were selected to create woodcut blocks that will be printed with a steamroller and original artwork will be auctioned off to support this year's rotating benefactor Anchor Press, Paper and Print (“AP3”) - a [501 (c) (3] charitable organization (https://www.anchorpresspaperandprint.org/).

AP3 is a non-profit print shop, workspace and gallery that brings together a diverse community of youth, emerging and established artists, and the public to advance the fine arts of printmaking and papermaking, by integrating education with the creation of prints and paper and promoting research, education and exploration.

Inspire youth, support the arts - pave it forward!
