Arte Para Todos
Get ready for some impressive numbers: 70 Milwaukee-area bands will play more than 15 venues spanning three neighborhoods over three days as part of the inaugural "Arte Para Todos" (Art for Everyone) festival, which begins Friday, Feb. 27. Each day of the festival focuses on a different neighborhood: Friday takes place in Bay View; Saturday spans Harambee and Riverwest; and Sunday is set on the East Side. And, as you might imagine from a festival of this size, the lineup is totally stacked, featuring many of the most esteemed acts from the city's indie-rock, folk and hip-hop scenes, along with visual art displays and a music-themed film festival.
The best part: all proceeds go directly to high-school art programs at Bay View High School, Tamarack Waldorf High School and Escuela Fratney. Every artist and performer involved is donating their time.
A three-day festival pass is $20; a one-day pass is $12 and the single-admission cover at any event is $7 day of show. The complete lineup is below; you can find updated information at the festival's website.
