SUMMARY:Experimental Tuesdays: Weather\, or Not
DESCRIPTION:Date & TimeTuesday\, February 3\, 2026 (7–9 p.m.) \n\n \n\nLocation51���� Union Cinema \n\n\n \nThe weather moves around as the clouds imagine their own nephology: wondering what these people see when they see what they see. Fluttering by\, attention pulls focus from the movement of the cloud\, to the movement of the wind\, to the movement of the eye\, to the movement of the mind\, without ever moving an inch. All the while\, we’re watching seeing\, or observing looking\, or something like that. A program of short works that explore place\, space and the weather\, in all its sublime\, mundane and chaotic glory.  \n \n \n\nExperimental Tuesdays is a free public series featuring celebrated work of contemporary and historical artist-made film and video. This weekly series presents films and artists that explore the creative and critical potential of moving images. It also amplifies marginalized voices by hosting artists that represent diverse populations\, such as LGBT\, Native American\, Black and Latinx artists. Hosted by the Department of Film\, Video\, Animation & New Genres\, and presented in partnership with 51����’s Union Cinema\, this series is a bedrock of the Milwaukee arts landscape. Recent screenings include Silvia das Fadas\, Courtney Stephens\, Simon Liu\, Helena Wittman\, Jessica Bardsley\, Suneil Sanzgiri\, Mary Helena Clark\, Angelo Madsen Minax\, and Rhayne Vermette to name a few.

SUMMARY:Artists Now! Guest Lecture Series: Linda Fleming
DESCRIPTION:Date & TimeWednesday\, February 4\, 2026 (7:30–9 p.m.) \n\n\nLocationVirtual \n\n\nLinda Fleming (born in 1945 in Pittsburgh\, PA) is a celebrated sculptor and educator. For Fleming\, location is vital to her in creating artwork\, and as a result\, the artist divides her time between three studios. Her first studio (a 40-foot geodesic dome) is located in Colorado at Libre – an artist’s community that was founded in 1968. Fleming’s second studio is at Wall Spring in the Smoke Creek Desert in northwestern Nevada\, and the third\, The Brewery is in Benicia\, CA where Fleming assembles most of her large-scale works. \nThroughout the fall and spring semesters\, the Artists Now! Guest Lecture Series welcomes a diverse group of nationally and internationally recognized artists working across traditional\, hybrid and emergent disciplines. Join us to explore and expand boundaries of creative visual practices alongside others with an interest in contemporary visual art. \n \nVisit Linda Fleming’s website. \n\nWatch Now!\n\n\n \n\nThe Artists Now! Guest Lecture Series is supported in part by the 51���� Black & Gold Committee and Differential Tuition funds\, Frederick R. Layton Fund\, the John Colt Memorial Art Fund\, The Queer Curatorial Fund\, Center for 21st Century Studies\, Mary L. Nohl Fund Fellowships for Individual Artists\, Print Club\, Focus\, and OBJECT.

SUMMARY:Experimental Tuesdays: A Brief History of Chasing Storms
DESCRIPTION:Date & TimeTuesday\, February 10\, 2026 (7–9 p.m.) \n\n\nLocation51���� Union Cinema \n\n\nA Brief History of Chasing Storms presents a history of the tornado as both a destructive weather event and an American icon. Local monuments to past tornadoes intertwine with mythologies of settlement and displacement. An amateur storm chaser questions his own agency and fate. The CEO of a Wizard of Oz-themed storm shelter company describes a growing market in a world of increasing weather uncertainty. Unfolding episodically\, questions of memory\, inequality\, colonization\, climate change\, and disaster capitalism arise as the film examines legacies of weather within the region colloquially known as “tornado alley.”  \nCurtis Miller is a filmmaker and artist based in Chicago\, IL. His work often takes the American Midwest as both site and subject. His films have screened internationally at Visions du Réel\, IDFA\, DMZ Docs\, Glasgow Short Film Festival\, Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival\, Antimatter\, EXiS\, and the Chicago International Film Festival\, as well as the Hyde Park Arts Center\, Gallery 400\, and the Renaissance Society\, among others. In 2025\, he was named one of Filmmaker Magazine’s “25 New Faces of Independent Film.” A Brief History of Chasing Storms is Miller’s first feature. \nThe artist will be present for a Q&A after the program. \nA Brief History of Chasing Storms directed by Curtis Miller 70 minutes\, 2025\, 16mm & 4K video \n \n\nExperimental Tuesdays is a free public series featuring celebrated work of contemporary and historical artist-made film and video. This weekly series presents films and artists that explore the creative and critical potential of moving images. It also amplifies marginalized voices by hosting artists that represent diverse populations\, such as LGBT\, Native American\, Black and Latinx artists. Hosted by the Department of Film\, Video\, Animation & New Genres\, and presented in partnership with 51����’s Union Cinema\, this series is a bedrock of the Milwaukee arts landscape. Recent screenings include Silvia das Fadas\, Courtney Stephens\, Simon Liu\, Helena Wittman\, Jessica Bardsley\, Suneil Sanzgiri\, Mary Helena Clark\, Angelo Madsen Minax\, and Rhayne Vermette to name a few.

SUMMARY:Experimental Tuesdays: From the Archives\, Curated by Aidan T. Collins
DESCRIPTION:Date & TimeTuesday\, February 17\, 2026 (7–9 p.m.) \n\n\nLocation51���� Union Cinema \n\n\nCurated by MFA candidates from the Department of Film\, Video\, Animation and New Genres\, these programs feature a unique opportunity to see some of the incredible 16mm prints from the 51���� Cinema Arts Archive. For each program\, the curator is invited to program a selection of films around a theme of their choosing. \nThe Cinema Arts Archive now contains over 400 essential works on 16mm film\, and a handful on 35mm\, from a range of historic and contemporary cinema. This unique and expansive archive continues to preserve\, grow\, and reflect the ever-evolving landscape of avant-garde film—representing a commitment to the past\, present\, and future of the medium. Alongside giants like Hollis Frampton\, Bruce Baillie\, Deborah Stratman\, and Jennifer Reeves lie many lesser-known gems ready to ignite curiosity and expand minds. While the collection aims to capture an array of crucial cinematic history\, modes\, and movements\, the majority of work is artist-made\, short form\, and experimental in nature. \n \n\nExperimental Tuesdays is a free public series featuring celebrated work of contemporary and historical artist-made film and video. This weekly series presents films and artists that explore the creative and critical potential of moving images. It also amplifies marginalized voices by hosting artists that represent diverse populations\, such as LGBT\, Native American\, Black and Latinx artists. Hosted by the Department of Film\, Video\, Animation & New Genres\, and presented in partnership with 51����’s Union Cinema\, this series is a bedrock of the Milwaukee arts landscape. Recent screenings include Silvia das Fadas\, Courtney Stephens\, Simon Liu\, Helena Wittman\, Jessica Bardsley\, Suneil Sanzgiri\, Mary Helena Clark\, Angelo Madsen Minax\, and Rhayne Vermette to name a few.

SUMMARY:RENT
DESCRIPTION:DatesFriday & Saturday\, February 20–21\, 2026 (1 p.m. & 7 p.m.) \n\n\nLocationKenilworth Square East\, Jan Serr Studio \n\n\nThe UW-Milwaukee Voice Area and Opera Theatre is proud to present RENT by Jonathan Larson preceded by a special performance of scenes from La Bohème by Giacomo Puccini. Experience Larson’s groundbreaking musical that reshaped the landscape of American music theater. Set in New York’s East Village during the 1990s arts and activist movement\, RENT follows a community of young artists navigating love\, loss\, creativity\, and the realities of illness and economic hardship. Its blend of rock\, pop\, and lyrical storytelling continues to connect deeply with audiences. \nBook\, Music and Lyrics by Jonathan LarsonMusical Arrangements by Steve SkinnerOriginal Concept/Additional Lyrics by Billy AronsonMusic Supervision and Additional Arrangements by Tim WeilDramaturg Lynn Thompson \nRENT was originally produced in New York by New York Theatre Workshop and on Broadway by Jeffrey Seller\, Kevin McCollum\, Allan S. Gordon and New York Theatre Workshop. RENT is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. \n\nAbout 51���� Voice Area Opera Theatre’s production of RENT and La Bohème Scenes\nLarson built the show on the framework of Puccini’s La Bohème\, reimagining the opera’s themes of love\, friendship\, and survival for a new generation. Puccini’s work premiered in 1896\, and Larson’s RENT made its debut exactly one hundred years later in 1996\, a centennial link that highlights how enduring these stories truly are. While La Bohème centers on bohemian artists in 1890s Paris\, its emotional core remains strikingly similar\, and Larson honored that lineage while giving it a contemporary pulse. \nTo explore that connection\, we will present selected scenes from La Bohème prior to the full production of RENT\, offering audiences a clear window into the operatic DNA that inspired Larson’s vision. Together\, these performances reveal the timeless themes shared across a century. \nJoin us for an evening that brings two iconic works into conversation while celebrating artistry\, community\, and the diverse talents of UW-Milwaukee’s Voice Area. \n\nSeating \nThis production will be staged in 51����’s stunning Jan Serr Studio\, an ideal venue located within Milwaukee’s vibrant cityscape. With four performances only\, seating will be very limited. Be sure to secure your tickets early.  \n \n\nThe bar is open! 51���� Peck School of the Arts is proud to partner with Saz’s to offer a limited selection of beer\, wine\, cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase at this event.\n\n\n \nIn-person Tickets\n\n\n\n\nGeneral\n$22\n\n\nSeniors 65+\, *51���� Faculty\, Staff & Alumni\n$17\n\n\nYouth 17 and Under\n$12\n\n\n*51���� Student\n$12\n\n\n*If you have a 51���� email account\, please log in when visiting the Box Office page in order to display all 51���� affiliated ticket pricing.\n\n\nPurchase Tickets \nView Program (PDF)

SUMMARY:Experimental Tuesdays: From the Archives\, Curated by Gabi Rudin
DESCRIPTION:Date & TimeTuesday\, February 24\, 2026 (7–9 p.m.) \n\n\nLocation51���� Union Cinema \n\n\nCurated by MFA candidates from the Department of Film\, Video\, Animation and New Genres\, these programs feature a unique opportunity to see some of the incredible 16mm prints from the 51���� Cinema Arts Archive. For each program\, the curator is invited to program a selection of films around a theme of their choosing. \nThe Cinema Arts Archive now contains over 400 essential works on 16mm film\, and a handful on 35mm\, from a range of historic and contemporary cinema. This unique and expansive archive continues to preserve\, grow\, and reflect the ever-evolving landscape of avant-garde film—representing a commitment to the past\, present\, and future of the medium. Alongside giants like Hollis Frampton\, Bruce Baillie\, Deborah Stratman\, and Jennifer Reeves lie many lesser-known gems ready to ignite curiosity and expand minds. While the collection aims to capture an array of crucial cinematic history\, modes\, and movements\, the majority of work is artist-made\, short form\, and experimental in nature. \n \n\nExperimental Tuesdays is a free public series featuring celebrated work of contemporary and historical artist-made film and video. This weekly series presents films and artists that explore the creative and critical potential of moving images. It also amplifies marginalized voices by hosting artists that represent diverse populations\, such as LGBT\, Native American\, Black and Latinx artists. Hosted by the Department of Film\, Video\, Animation & New Genres\, and presented in partnership with 51����’s Union Cinema\, this series is a bedrock of the Milwaukee arts landscape. Recent screenings include Silvia das Fadas\, Courtney Stephens\, Simon Liu\, Helena Wittman\, Jessica Bardsley\, Suneil Sanzgiri\, Mary Helena Clark\, Angelo Madsen Minax\, and Rhayne Vermette to name a few.

SUMMARY:Special Features | Impact Filmmaking: Documentary\, Advocacy & Community
DESCRIPTION:Date & TimeThursday\, February 26\, 2026 (6:30–8:30 p.m.) \n\n\nLocationMitchell Hall\, Fine Arts Cinema Room B91 \n\n\nThis workshop explores documentary filmmaking as a tool for community advocacy and social impact. Attendees will examine how nonfiction stories can amplify marginalized voices\, engage local communities\, and move audiences toward awareness and action. Through case studies and practical discussion\, the workshop addresses ethical storytelling\, relationship-building with participants\, and strategies for designing films with impact beyond the screen—equipping emerging filmmakers to tell responsible\, community-centered stories that matter.  \nOur guest\, Eric Kleppe-Montenegro is interested in challenging dominant narratives about marginalized communities and highlighting change-makers through storytelling. Growing up as a Colombian-American helped him understand the damage of pervasive stereotypes commonly reproduced in film and television. He also recognizes the true beauty that is left out of narrow perspectives\, a beauty which should be celebrated. Eric is passionate about creating impactful art that uplifts and inspires viewers. This passion led him to documenting social justice movements for the last decade\, specifically within the immigrant rights movement\, and allowed him to collaborate with creatives across lines of difference. \nSpecial Features is an art and film focused professional development workshop series curated by the Film\, Video\, Animation & New Genres department at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. \n \n \n\nTickets are not required for this FREE event.
