Arts
and the Rivers Contest
Milwaukee Riverkeeper is proud to announce the
first Arts and the Rivers Contest. To celebrate our
rivers, we are seeking visual works that convey the
beauty and importance of our waterways in an
artistically meaningful way. Content of the work must
connect in some way to the Kinnickinnic, Menomonee,
and/or Milwaukee rivers.
The contest is funded by Shirley Holzer Jeffrey, a
long-time Milwaukee Riverkeeper board member and
accomplished photographer. Shirley's work can be
viewed at
www.shirleyjeffrey.com.
