This week on the pod, we welcome Derrick Cainion – founder of Art Intersection MKE. Art Intersection MKE is building a hub on Vliet Street that will be a space where people connect, learn and celebrate through art and community. 

We discuss Derrick’s artistically-influenced upbringing in Milwaukee, his extensive career as a American Sign Language interpreter, and his vision that led to the creation of Art Intersection MKE. Throughout, we celebrate the connections and web of support that helped fuel and move forward the vision of Art Intersection MK – including folks like Near West Side Partners, BrewCity Match (LISC and other partners), SBDC - Athena Agoudemous, Lynden Sculpture Garden- Polly Morris, Melissa Mueller, Yev Kaganovich, Washington Park Neighbors, Kurt Young Binter, and Holly Marley-Henschen.
