Tanner MacArthur is a painter and mixed-media artist exploring connections between urban disorder, collage, and traditional modes of abstraction. He is a 3rd-year MFA candidate at UW-Milwaukee and has exhibited at key midwestern galleries and museums such as the Trout Museum of Art, Portrait Society Gallery, Real Tinsel, and Var Gallery. 

Howard Leu is an interdisciplinary artist. His current work explores his recollection of growing up as a child of Taiwanese immigrants in the United States. His research examines how photography encapsulates memory and personal narratives within images. Leu is an MFA candidate at UWM and expects to graduate in the spring of 2025.

Throughout the fall and spring semesters, the Artists Now! Guest Lecture Series welcomes a diverse group of nationally and internationally recognized artists working across traditional, hybrid and emergent disciplines. Join us to explore and expand the boundaries of creative visual practices alongside others with an interest in contemporary visual art.

Layton Fund, the John Colt Memorial Art Fund, The Queer Curatorial Fund, Center for 21st Century Studies, Greater Milwaukee Foundation’s Mary L.
