The finalists’ work will be on display at Gallerie M at the InterContinental Milwaukee, beginning on Gallery Night, Friday, Jan. 20, through mid-February for the public voting portion of the selection process.

Once selected, the artist, chosen by a juried committee (with the public vote being one vote on the committee), would serve as the ninth Artist-in-Residence at the Pfister. The artist will work in the lobby-level studio, interacting with and inspiring the hotel’s guests.

Detailed voting information will be released in the coming weeks.
