Join Forward 48 Alumni Ashley Thomas (Spring '23) and Kendall Schoenike (Spring '24) as they celebrate their organization's 25th anniversary through Hope Street's Interactive Greenhouse Experience. Attendees will be able to walk through an immersive art exhibit complete with paintings, videos and artful gardens, allowing them to both hear and see stories of Milwaukee. You will see local artists share their creative takes on their hope for the future of Milwaukee, as well as be inspired by the organizations that are doing their part to restore hope in our city. There will be sensory elements, and even a collaborative art piece for all to participate in.

Ashley and Kendall are so excited to share this with our alumni community. As the primary sponsor of this event, Hope Street has gifted 48 daytime tickets to this event for any Forward 48 alumni who are interested in joining in on this experience. Additional tickets can be purchased directly through the Hope Street website​ for $20.

This event is located at the Baird Center and will take place open house style from 9am-4pm. The walkthrough of Hope Street's Interactive Greenhouse Experience takes ~30 to 60 minutes to complete. Get your tickets today!

Update as of 10/17/24 - Registration has closed for this event! If you would still like to attend today's event with Hope Street, you will be able to attend as a walk up & will be encouraged to donate $20 at the door.
