Milwaukee's Arte Para Todos (Art For Everyone) festival launched with big ambitions last year, spotlighting 70 local acts acts at 15 venues in three neighborhoods and raising more than $21,000 for area schools in the process. This year it's going even bigger. In year two, Arte Para Todos has added an extra night and another neighborhood: It'll feature more than 100 local bands at 25 venues, making it arguably the most expansive, inclusive showcase of local music in the city; an incredible feat for a festival only in its second year.
The festival will also feature a number of visual artists and will sponsor a series of performances at local schools over the next few months. Weekend passes are just $25, and single-event passes are between $9-$17. Proceeds will be split between four schools: George Washington Carver Academy in Brewer’s Hill, Escuela Vieau School in Walker’s Point, Milwaukee Parkside School of the Arts in Bay View, and Riverwest's Frederick J. Gaenslen School.
