“Cheese in different ways,” is only the beginning of Milwaukee's compelling cultural offerings. From the astounding waters, to the presence of industrious creatives who are making things happen and helping each other to develop their skills and talents—Milwaukee is a vibrant community that continues to exceed expectations and enable a strong quality of life for creatives of all disciplines. This special episode of Creative MKE features more conversations with arts leaders held at Washington Park Media Center including Angela Damiani, CEO of NEWaukee, Peggy Williams Smith, CEO of VISIT Milwaukee, Joe Poeschl, Director of Engagement of MKE Tech Hub Coalition and Kevin Giglinto, President & CEO of the Marcus Performing Arts Center, Adam Braatz, Executive Director at Imagine MKE, Lafayette Crump, the City of Milwaukee Commissioner of City Development, Daniel Murray, Founder and Creative Director of FuzzPop Workshop.

In this episode of the pod, we re-introduce the show as “Creative MKE.” Moving forward, episodes will feature a shorter format, have a focus on the creative economy of Milwaukee -- and will be sponsored by the https://shepherdexpress.com/ (Shepherd Express).   This episode finds Elisabeth in conversation with the Co-Founders of LoCo+, Kate Atwood and Megan Matousek. LoCo+ is a streaming platform that seeks to engage creators in specific communities (Atlanta, Denver, and now, Milwaukee) and enable them to leverage their intellectual property in a more direct way. Unlike models of streaming like YouTube and Spotify, LoCo+ offers artists the opportunity to host and merchandise their work through paywalls, ticketing, and more. It also gives the artist access to the data of fans and followers who engage with them. Through LoCo+, unlike all other streaming services, users can seek content through the lens of location. Matousek describes the LoCo+ UX experience as Netflix on the front end, and YouTube on the back end.  Throughout the discussion, the group touches on art as a form of storytelling — and a vehicle for human connection and growth, Milwaukee's position as an under-the-radar hub for arts and culture production, the disempowerment that artists face when attempting to build fan and patron bases everywhere at once, and the concept of the LoCo+ platform being a mechanism to “teach emerging creators to fish” for their long-term financial success through leveraging technological tools.   https://www.golocoplus.com/ (LoCo+) is hosting a https://www.eventbrite.com/e/loco-mke-creator-launch-mimosa-mixer-tickets-418034772257 (Creator Launch Mimosa Mixer) on Saturday, Oct 29, at NO Studios in conjunction with NEWwaukee and MKE LAX.  Bio Links:   https://www.newaukee.com/ (NEWaukee)   http://mke-lax.org/ (MKE LAX)  https://www.nostudios.com/production-services?gclid=CjwKCAjw79iaBhAJEiwAPYwoCFYO9AdAA-5AAks87KBdB4UqVz74DGH7U5rH0B4d0qfwZ7lt_1zmaRoCdboQAvD_BwE (NO Studios)  https://www.linkedin.com/in/kateatwood (Kate Atwood)  https://katesclub.org/ (Kate's Club)  https://www.chooseatl.com/ (Choose ATL)  https://www.linkedin.com/in/meganmatousek/ (Megan Matousek)  https://www.laika.com/ (LAIKA)  https://www.lucasfilm.com/ (Lucasfilm Ltd)  https://www.ilm.com/ (Industrial Light & Magic)   https://www.americansforthearts.org/by-program/reports-and-data/research-studies-publications/arts-economic-prosperity-6 (AEP6 from Americans for the Arts) https://www.golocoplus.com/video/video__52394eaa-4564-4510-9f79-1c2ca93ba22d (Nesha Nycee)  

Montavius Jones is a Strong Towns member who describes himself as “getting radicalized” about urban planning issues on Twitter. (This conversation is actually a good argument for the positive potential of Twitter as a place to meet people, connect and share ideas!) Jones majored in commercial real estate in college, and brings that expertise to his work today at a community development financial institution, as well as a lot of on-the-ground advocacy in Milwaukee. A few years ago, he also had the opportunity to travel around Central and South America, observing the way so many cities to the south have built themselves with people as the priority, not cars. In particular, he talks about his all time favorite city, Mexico City, and why it's a perfect example of successful, strong urban planning. Jones sees the connections between the challenges that many communities, especially mid-size cities like Milwaukee, face: population stagnation, educational and health disparities, safety, housing affordability… He sees solutions in a Strong Towns approach to urban planning. In this conversation, you'll also hear about an initiative he helps lead called Urban Spaceship. We'll just leave that as a teaser since the name alone should be enough to get you intrigued.

You’ve heard the name from events like the Night Market and Urban Island Beach Party, but what else do you know about social architecture agency Newaukee? From its beginnings 11 years ago, to where it is today, the impact Newaukee has had on our city extends far beyond its signature events. Jeremy Fojut joins MKE Forward to talk about Newaukee’s journey and how the group continues to evolve and adapt.

For many, the popular Night Market is their first introduction to NEWaukee. But over its ten years the organization has gone from a group of volunteers putting on social events to an organization with 200,000 subscribers and at the center of all of that is CEO and co-founder Angela Damiani. In this episode of Deff-initely Milwaukee, Carl sits down with Angela at NEWaukee's downtown offices off Water street. They dive into the entrepreneurial spirit of someone who started her first company at age 22. They discuss how Angela's influence has grown from being the token millennial in different meetings to a powerful voice helping decide Milwaukee’s future and find out the role NEWaukee hopes to play in next summer’s Democratic National Convention.

Episode 20 brings Angela Damiani to the show. This serial entrepreneur from Milwaukee has founded numerous businesses, including Newaukee and Rev Collective. A pro at converting social media engagement into in-person experiences, Angela understands what businesses need to be to consumers in a densely digital age.  Follow Newaukee (@NEWaukee) and Angela (@AngelaSDamiani).  Listen and subscribe to the podcast on your favorite platform: Apple Podcasts Google Play Music Spotify  iHeartRadio Follow Boelter + Lincoln on social: Facebook Twitter Instagram LinkedIn  boelterlincoln.com

A conversational, full-length interview with Jeremy Fojut, Chief Idea Officer at Newaukee, and Joe Poeschl, Program Director at The Commons, to discuss a Co:Lab, a “civic accelerator” they co-founded here in Milwaukee. Co:Lab is a deeply engaging and experiential opportunity for a select group of Milwaukeeans to apply their diverse skills, build new connections into the city and work together to produce a high-impact solution for a real community issue. We discuss how to do community development in a thoughtful way, the necessity of cultural competency, focusing on the “return on community” rather than “return on investment”, how to engage young people and connect them to the entire city of Milwaukee, and why you need to go to more events that you wouldn’t typically attend.

Since 2009, the young professional group NEWaukee has become an ever-present player in Milwaukee's social and cultural scenes. What began as a simple social networking group started by a handful of friends looking to meet their peers and explore their city has become a social architecture firm looking to change the way Milwaukeeans young and old live, work, and play in their city and beyond. The NEWaukee Night Market, an arts and crafts fair that takes over a chunk of W. Wisconsin Ave. for four nights every summer, has become a huge success. The NEWaukee-organized Young Professional Week, a statewide program featuring hundreds of free events, workshops, and panels, kicks off April 23. On top of that (and dozens of other events), NEWaukee has been working with the new ownership group of The Shops of Grand Avenue, offering input and shaping the redevelopment of the long-struggling downtown mall. For this episode of On The Record, Matt Wild dropped by the NEWaukee offices (which, coincidentally, are in the basement of the Grand Ave.) and spoke to NEWaukee president Angela Damiani about the future of the mall, the history of her group, and what, exactly, social architecture means.
