Blue Dress Park
Blue Dress Park is the name given to a derelict piece of urban space in the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, by conceptual artist Paul Druecke in 2000.In the summer of 2000, Druecke staged a "christening celebration" with champagne and chamber music on the site, temporarily transforming it into a "crowded meeting place".[1][2] In 2010, Druecke formed a collaborative effort with Los Angeles–based artist Sara Daleiden, a founding member of the LA Urban Rangers, to create the Friends of Blue Dress Park.Board members include Anna-Marie Opgenorth, Brian Reilly, John Riepenhoff, Wendy Slocum, Karin Wolf, and Steve Wetzel.[4] The Friends of Blue Dress Park held "Condiments Provided," a community gathering and brat tasting event on May 21, 2011.
