Santiago Calatrava Returns to the Milwaukee Art Museum to Celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Quadracci Pavilion

Architect to Speak at Press Conference Recognizing His Significance to the City of Milwaukee on Wednesday, September 14

Milwaukee, WI – September 12, 2022 – The Milwaukee Art Museum will welcome Santiago Calatrava back to Milwaukee for the 20th anniversary of the opening of the Quadracci Pavilion. Completed in 2001, the Quadracci Pavilion was the Spanish architect’s first project in the United States, and his visit marks the culmination of a year-long celebration of the building’s anniversary.

Members of the press are invited to the Museum on Wednesday, September 14, at 10:30 a.m. for a press conference recognizing Calatrava’s significance to the city of Milwaukee.   

The press conference will feature remarks from:

Marcelle Polednik, Donna and Donald Baumgartner Director of the Milwaukee Art Museum

David Crowley, Milwaukee County Executive

Cavalier Johnson, Mayor of Milwaukee

Santiago Calatrava, architect of the Milwaukee Art Museum’s Quadracci Pavilion

The speakers will recognize how, over the past two decades, Calatrava’s building has established the Milwaukee Art Museum as a preeminent destination for art and architecture, an icon for the city of Milwaukee, and a touchstone of civic pride. The opening of the Quadracci Pavilion jump-started a renaissance for Milwaukee’s identity, bolstered by new conversations about architecture and its impact on tourism, economic development, and public life.

Since the Pavilion’s debut, the Museum has been ranked among Conde Nast Traveler’s “New Wonders of the World” and lauded by People Magazine as one of the “New American Beauties” and an “instant tourist attraction.” With the Quadracci Pavilion, Calatrava designed not only an internationally celebrated architectural feat, but a lasting symbol of innovation, inspiration, and momentum for the city of Milwaukee.

The press conference will include surprise announcements from Mayor Johnson and Marcelle Polednik.

Members of the press are encouraged to arrive for the press conference between 10 and 10:15 a.m. to be seated in Lubar Auditorium before the opening remarks begin at 10:30 a.m. Photo opportunities will take place from 11:15 to 11:30 a.m.
