Milwaukee PBS invites you to celebrate its 65th anniversary with a special interactive exhibit, Milwaukee PBS at 65: Looking Back & Moving Forward, on display at MATC's Create Gallery located in the Main building (M175) of the Downtown Campus.

 

The exhibit gives attendees a chance to remember how Milwaukee PBS has evolved over its 65-year history and to celebrate its evolving legacy of service. 

Attendees will have the chance to look at historic memorabilia as well as view clips of Milwaukee PBS' impressive production accomplishments including The Great Circus Parade, The Making of Milwaukee, and The Great TV Auction. 

It also celebrates how Milwaukee PBS continues to serve the community with thought-provoking local programs like 10thirtysix™, Adelante, Black Nouveau, The Arts Page, My Wisconsin Backyard, and Rhythm Cafe MKE, all currently in production.
