In its first three years, Arte Para Todos raised approximately $60,000 for Milwaukee public school art programs through the selfless efforts of musicians and visual artists bringing their talents to dozens of local bars, venues, and galleries. Thankfully, the city’s most eclectic and ambitious benefit is returning for another year with oodles of entertainment scattered throughout Walker’s Point, Bay View, Harambee, Riverwest, and the East Side.

From April 26-29, the benefit that accurately calls itself “Milwaukee’s largest local music event” will feature around 70 acts showcasing their talents close to 30 venues spread throughout five neighborhoods. As always, all proceeds gained through ticket sales will be donated to Milwaukee school art programs. Once again, the lineup of performers who are donating their time and talent to the event is nothing short of amazing. Here’s who’s playing this year’s Arte Para Todos (lineup is below the video).
