What is Milwaukee Art Escape?
Milwaukee Art Escape is a citywide cultural tourism campaign centered on special discounts and promotions, not a scheduled event or tour, from museums, public art, sculpture gardens, restaurants, shops, and other cultural destinations throughout Milwaukee.
Running August 21–October 6, 2026, Milwaukee Art Escape gives visitors and locals the flexibility to explore Milwaukee their way, any day of the week. There’s no set route, required itinerary, or hotel stay. Simply register for your free Digital Passport, choose the places and offers that interest you, and start exploring.
Our sample itineraries are available to inspire you as you plan your own Milwaukee Art Escape. They're not required itineraries or scheduled tours.
