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.
Sasha Kinens is a figurative oil painter who finds solitude in her studio along the Milwaukee River in Thiensville. Her Latvian heritage is reflected into her paintings through landscape and expression, her subjects connecting with the viewer. She captures a thought provoking moment, inspired by her models and who they become in costume.
The Pfister Hotel is proud to offer the Artist in Residence Program annually since 2009. This interactive program fosters connection between the arts and the Milwaukee community.
