ARTservancy began in September of 2018 and has now grown to include five partnerships with the Ozaukee Washington Land Trust, the River Revitalization Foundation, the Lake Michigan Bird Observatory, Tall Pines Conservancy and the Milwaukee Area Land Conservancy.
Artist Residents create a body of artwork inspired by the property, culminating in a month-long exhibition at Gallery 224. Programming is offered throughout their residency year, include an ongoing blog featuring the artist on A Wealth of Nature, on-site tours, performances, workshops and demonstrations.
ARTservancy encourages collaborations with community partners to highlight access and give permission to create in natural spaces, breaking down the gates of a metaphorical Walled Garden. ARTservancy's mission is to protect and establish empathetic roles in these spaces, while advocating for equal, safe and innovative artwork.

Reflections from Artist Residents
Eddee Daniel
Imagine all of these things are possible right in the middle of the city.
But, of course, there’s no need to imagine. Just head for the Milwaukee River Greenway.
Krista Allenstein
I am not educated in native plant species and my knowledge of trees is limited, so my appreciation of Sidney Woods was one of color, shape and texture.
Emily Verbeten
My work with Zinn preserve encapsulates my unique perspective as I walk down the path through the conifers, through the marsh, and let the preserve teach me as I bridge the worlds of science and art.
