Sadly, Bay View will say good bye to Spackle Gallery in the new year. Opened in 2007, Spackle is a small, collective space highlighting the works of Milwaukee artists. Established, supported and run by Milwaukeeans, the gallery existed as a venue for artists to experiment and explore various media and method.
Currently showing their last exhibition, "Perfectionless," the gallery, 2674 S. Kinnickinnic Ave., plans to close in mid January.
"Perfectionless" features the works of Milwaukee based artists Allison Lindner, Sam McMahon and Nick Wieczorkowski. The show, which opened mid December, explains human behavior, social interaction and experience through prints, drawings and installations.
Owners could not be reached for comment but the gallery will hold a closing reception during Winter Gallery Night on Jan. 16.
OnMilwaukee.com staff writer Maureen Post grew up in Wauwatosa. A lover of international and urban culture, Maureen received a bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
After living on the east side of Madison for several years, Maureen returned to Milwaukee in 2006.
After a brief stint of travel, Maureen joined OnMilwaukee.com as the city’s oldest intern and has been hooked ever since. Combining her three key infatuations, Milwaukee’s great music, incredible food and inspiring art (and yes, in that order), Maureen’s job just about fits her perfectly.
Residing in Bay View, Maureen vehemently believes the city can become fresh and new with a simple move across town.
