Discover the Human Experience at the Charles Allis Art Museum During Gallery Night & Day

/ Charles Allis Art Museum/

Step inside one of Milwaukee’s most beautiful historic mansions for an unforgettable Gallery Night experience at the Charles Allis Art Museum. Located at 1801 N. Prospect Avenue, the museum invites guests to explore art, music, and culture in an intimate, welcoming setting that bridges history and creativity.

On Friday, October 17, from 5:00 to 8:00 PM, visitors will enjoy an evening filled with ambiance, artistry, and live music. Pianist Neal Bardele will perform from 6:00 to 7:30 PM, blending smooth jazz, Great American Songbook favorites, and timeless classics that set the perfect mood for exploring the museum’s latest community exhibition — Human Condition: A Study of the Body.

Curated from local and regional artists, Human Condition examines resilience, vulnerability, memory, and transformation. Through evocative paintings, sculptures, and mixed-media works, the exhibition offers a powerful, personal reflection on what it means to be human. It’s an experience that resonates deeply — whether you’re an art enthusiast, a music lover, or simply looking for an inspiring night out in the city.

The museum’s galleries and permanent collection will also be open on Saturday, October 18, from 12:00 to 4:00 PM for those wishing to explore at a slower pace. Admission is free and open to all both days.
