April 2012 marked 25 years of WPCA exhibiting local and national art, working with the Milwaukee community and inspiring youth through our educational programming.

Thank you to everyone who attended our 25th Anniversary Arts Build Community Celebration in April!  Many people and organizations contributed to the evening’s success, and we would like to offer our gratitude to everyone involved.

We auctioned off beautiful artwork created by members and youth participating in WPCA programming, took part in an exciting raffle offering prizes ranging from $40 – $105, listened to the dance tunes of Grupo Bahia and the vibrant music of the Jason Spottek Jazz Trio, and enjoyed mouthwatering hors d’oeuvres from Antigua Latin Restaurant.
