📍 Public Brewing Company | Kenosha, WI
🖼️ Celebrating Local Art, Craft, and Creativity
🎨𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭: 𝐌𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭
🗓️Saturday July 12 | 5-9pm
Kenosha’s art scene is vibrant, diverse, and deeply rooted in community, with creativity spilling from galleries into parks, streets, and breweries. There are murals everywhere, sculpture walks, outdoor art installations, museums, art markets, theaters, music venues, tattoo shops, and much more. Kenosha’s art scene is inclusive, accessible, collaborative, ever-changing, and fresh – all things to be celebrated.
Crafting beer is both an art form and a science. Brewers meticulously balance ingredients—malt, hops, yeast, and water—to create distinct flavor profiles. Every small adjustment can shift the taste, aroma, and texture. When a brewery truly values its craft, every pint becomes a reflection of passion, process, and purpose. Blending craft beer with Kenosha’s local art scene is our way of supporting creatives and sparking connections and conversations with a diverse group of artists and the community.
Join us for 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐫𝐭, a free-to-attend, ongoing series of art shows at Public Brewing Company designed to spotlight the incredible talent of local artists, makers, and creatives in our community. Expect live art displays for sale, “meet the artist” moments, and a full array of food & beverage from yours truly.
We will feature a rotating lineup of artists, painters, photographers, illustrators, and more, bringing their unique styles, stories, and work to our taproom for all to enjoy. Whether you’re an art lover, a collector, or just looking to support local talent, this is your chance to connect with Kenosha’s creative scene in a relaxed, welcoming space. No tickets required, stop by, grab a drink, and explore what Kenosha’s local art scene has to offer.
𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐒𝐓: Mitch Braver (@mitchbravertattoo): With over 10 years of tattooing experience, Mitch has resided for the last 7 of those years at Tallulah Tattoo, a private studio in Downtown Kenosha. Mitch is well-known in the neighborhood as a proud ally of the creative scene and can be found supporting businesses and initiatives that lift up the local community. Growing up in Kenosha, Mitch was drawn to the esoteric symbols in Masonic Halls and gritty venues around the Midwest, finding a similar pull in traditional tattoo flash. Just as he observed with Masonic prints, he often embeds fragments of dreams and hidden meanings into tattoo designs or paintings.
𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐑𝐓: Mitch says, “This show is a love letter to Kenosha. It’s for every artist in the Midwest trying to carve out something beautiful.” Mitch will feature a variety of pieces that span different mediums and points in his life – from tattoo flash, torn paper, to cyanotypes made from old stencils. All of his pieces are emotional blueprints of the dedication from the people in his life who have contributed to his success. He will also have copies of his book, 𝑶𝒍𝒅 𝑯𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒕𝒔 𝑫𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝑹𝒂𝒃𝒃𝒊𝒕𝒔, for sale during the show.

About A RESISTANCE OF WITCHES:
As World War II rages around her, a witch abandoned by her coven must journey to find a book of unspeakable power before it lands in Nazi hands.
Stubborn, plain-spoken and from an unimpressive family, Lydia Polk never expected to be accepted into the Royal Academy of Witches. Now, with Hitler’s army rampaging across Europe, the witches of Britain have joined the war effort, and Lydia is key to the cause: she must use her magic to track down magical relics before Hitler and his sycophants can. When a Nazi witch infiltrates the Academy with heart-breaking consequences, the coven is left shaken, exposed and divided. The elder British witches have no interest in further loss of coven life in service of a government that has forced them into hiding for decades, no matter the consequences to the world. But with the discovery of the Grimorium Bellum, an ancient book that leaves a trail of death and destruction wherever it goes, Lydia knows her mission has never been more urgent.
Alone and woefully outnumbered, Lydia makes her way to the heart of occupied France, where she finds allies in Rebecca Gagne—a fierce French resistance fighter chockful of secrets—and Henry Boudreaux—a handsome Haitian American art historian with a little magic of his own. Together, they traverse the country, stalked by the natural and supernatural alike, in search of the grimoire. But, as Lydia soon discovers, finding the book is only half the battle—the Grimorium Bellum has a dark agenda all its own. Lydia must subdue it before the Witches of the Third Reich can use it—but she’ll have to survive the book herself, first.

About MORGAN RYAN:
Morgan Ryan is the author of stories born from a lifelong love of magic, a fixation on historical minutiae that borders on the obsessive, and a tendency to fall down rabbit-holes. She was raised in a family of writers in upstate New York and received her degree in theatre performance from Northeastern University. She now lives in Chicago with her husband. “A Resistance of Witches” is her first novel.

About GRETA KELLY:
Greta K. Kelly is (probably) not a witch, death or otherwise, but she can still be summoned with offerings of too-beautiful-to-use journals and Butterfingers candy. She currently lives in Wisconsin with her husband EJ, daughters Lorelei and Nadia who are doing their level-best to take over the world.
The Warrior Witch duology, consisting of “The Frozen Crown” and its sequel “The Seventh Queen” are both out now. Greta’s third novel, “The Queen of Days”, a stand-alone adult fantasy is also out now.
