Marcus Performing Arts Center and Milwaukee Downtown, BID #21 partner to bring an immersive, large-scale public art installation and five nights of free public performances July 23 – 27
MILWAUKEE (April 24, 2024) – Downtown Milwaukee will welcome a brand-new immersive public art installation to the Marcus Performing Arts Center Outdoor Grounds in July 2024 with the return of Rainbow Summer: HIGHLIGHT featuring Elysian Arcs. Marcus Performing Arts Center (MPAC) and Milwaukee Downtown, BID #21 are partnering to bring the internationally touring installation “Elysian Arcs” by Atelier Sisu to the MPAC Outdoor Grounds for one week only, July 23 – 27, along with five nights of free public performances.
Building on the momentum of last year’s Rainbow Summer: HIGHLIGHT that introduced “Evanescent” by Atelier Sisu, this summer’s “Elysian Arcs,” also by Atelier Sisu, promises to elevate the experience. Visitors will be immersed in an extraordinary world of “art-chitecture” – a seamless blend of art and architecture that features a collection of five larger-than-life arches. This will be the first exhibition of this artwork in the United States.
As part of Rainbow Summer: HIGHLIGHT featuring Elysian Arcs, each night will feature a free public performance with live music from local and regional artists, vendor markets, food trucks, activities, and more. Performances are scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m. nightly, with a special Family Day planned for Saturday, July 27 that will begin at 6:30 p.m. Additional details on artists performing at Rainbow Summer: HIGHLIGHT featuring Elysian Arcs will be released in the coming weeks.
“Rainbow Summer: HIGHLIGHT is more than just an event – it is a vibrant celebration of creativity, community, and connection,” said Kevin Giglinto, MPAC President & CEO. “We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Milwaukee Downtown to bring this world-renowned installation to our community alongside a diverse selection of musical artists, and we look forward to welcoming everyone to enjoy and experience this incredible week.”
