At the corner of 35th and Vliet on Milwaukee's Near West Side sits a new public art gallery. It's called Art Intersection MKE and its founder, Derrick Cainion, hopes it will have a huge impact on the inner city neighborhood. If you have already watched the video and noticed some fencing around the space, it's because we shot this when there were some repairs being done. That fencing is not there any more and you can visit the park right now!

Currently there are 6 works of art in the space with plans for many more in the future. The artists represented are mostly local with a few pieces done by international artists. For Derrick, building an art park wasn't enough. He wanted something that would help the community in many more ways. That's why he is integrating all manners of green technologies into the park. From bioswales to solar panels to gardens filled with native plants, when it's all said and done, Art Intersection MKE will be a self-sustaining beacon of the Near West Side.
