This past weekend Milwaukee hosted the quarterly event Gallery Night and Day which featured 66 venues throughout the downtown Milwaukee area. It always draws a great crowd and this year Journal Sentinel asked people to help "check in" to art galleries on Foursquare to help draw attention to the local art scene in Milwaukee. What a great way to promote the event, galleries and artists as well as celebrate the first Foursquare Day. By checking in to 10 different galleries a person could also unlock the Warhol badge. People also used the hashtag #galnite on twitter to promote the event in the days before the weekend as well as for touching base with other people during the event. For more information on what you missed this past weekend check out the Art City blog.
Here's a few pics from the night at two venues:
