A Showcase of New Ventures, Emerging Projects, and the Creatives Behind Them
About this Event

Civic Studios is a creative platform where media, community, and public life intersect. Rooted in the belief that storytelling is a powerful civic tool, Civic Studios uses creative production to explore how we live together, address shared challenges, and imagine better futures for our communities. It is both a forum and a studio: a place for dialogue and a space for making.

The Creative Exchange is its quarterly showcase, spotlighting new ventures, emerging projects, and the creatives shaping Milwaukee’s cultural and creative future. Through short presentations, conversation, and networking, it creates space to share ideas, elevate new work, and build connections that move creative projects forward.

Whether you’re a creative entrepreneur, cultural organizer, media maker, or community supporter, this event invites you to experience innovative projects before they launch, connect with emerging creative leaders, engage in thoughtful dialogue about creativity, culture, and community impact, and grow your network in an open, welcoming civic space.

Panelists include:

  • Shannon Sims, Mic’d and Ready Media
  • Element Everest-Blanks, The Culture Plug
  • Kellen “Klassik” Abston, Independent Artist
  • Dante Nash, Avra
  • Lexi S. Brunson, Copywrite Magazine

Join us to discover bold ideas, connect with creative leaders, and build meaningful relationships in a space where creative work becomes civic work.
