Milwaukee Ave Arts Fest

Off the Beaten Path

Events at Center Portion (co-sponsored by Voice of the City):

ONGOING EXHIBITION
During the entire festival, the work of visual artist Ike Scott will be displayed and on sale in the gallery. Every day, as he wanders the streets of our fair city, Ike takes a minute to capture his unique view of the world on his i(ke)Phone. This exhibition features these images printed and hand-painted.

FRIDAY, JULY 23
7:00pm — Star Wars (1977 release)
Long ago, in a land far, far, away, a mother promised her young son that when he turned 10, he could see Star Wars. It's time for that mother to pay her debt. Be in the audience as a new fan is born!

Showing on the big Center Portion screen, the original Star Wars – in all of its bad color balance and iffy audio glory. But for all of you purists, it’s a dream come true.

SATURDAY, JULY 23
3:00pm & 10:00pm — SpiderBug
Spiderbug is a mobile short-film festival based in Chicago, organized by artist/filmmaker Catie Olson, with assistance from EC Brown.
