  Join your fellow APTI Western Great Lakes Chapter members at the Milwaukee School of Engineering's Grohmann Museum, home to the world’s most comprehensive art collection dedicated to the evolution of human work, for a special exhibit providing us a different look at dimensional stone quarrying than we are used to seeing. Follow it up with discussion and networking over drinks and food at the nearby Saint Kate Hotel's Bar.  

  The museum will provide a specially curated tour that includes the museum's regular collection items regarding quarrying and the special exhibit On the Edge: The Labor and Environment of Dimensional Stone Quarries by photographer Michael Schultz. In this exhibit, Michael Schultz demonstrates a gift for capturing the sheer size and scale of these monumental industrial operations. Over the course of this years-long project, he has visited quarries in Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Vermont, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and even Portugal. Through his work, we are treated to awe-inspiring views of an entire industry, from breaking and drilling to the stone cutters at work in refinement and finishing. The superbly crafted images celebrate the light within while directing our attention to the labor and laborers of heavy industry.

  We will be at the Grohmann Museum from 3-5.  The museum is located at: 1000 N Broadway, Milwaukee, WI 53202.

  We will move to The Saint Kate Hotel at 5.  The hotel is located at: 139 E Kilbourn Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53202.

  Join us for just one or both parts of the event!

  WGLC - APT will cover the cost of museum admission and light appetizers.  Please update your registration if your plans change!
