The Pfister Hotel has long prided itself on being a world-class destination for travelers and a quintessential Milwaukee landmark. Woven throughout the cultural fiber of our hotel is a long-standing passion for the arts. The Pfister Hotel is proud to offer an annual Artist in Residence program providing the opportunity for an artist to connect to a community of guests.

The program features a working studio and art gallery that is open to hotel guests and the public. Visitors are encouraged to interact with the artist while watching the evolution of each piece of work firsthand. Artists are expected to spend a minimum of 30 hours a week on-site and will participate in four gallery nights and days during their residency, along with a number of other events.
