Doors Open Milwaukee, September 24 & 25, 2011
Cost of Attendance: FREE!
New York does it! Toronto does it! Denver does it! And Milwaukee’s next! In the fall of 2011 HMI will inaugurate a major annual event we call Doors Open Milwaukee (DOM). We hope to open as many as a hundred buildings in the downtown area free of charge to the public during a two-day extravaganza. From belfries to boardrooms, judicial chambers to prop shops, green roofs to private museums, DOM will be like getting a back-stage pass to buildings’ restricted areas that visitors never see. Churches, museums, theaters, clubs, office buildings, markets, shops, historic homes, cultural centers, architectural firms - any site of historic, cultural or architectural interest. Alongside these on-your-own tours, Doors Open Milwaukee will also feature dozens of free in-depth tours of the area. To make DOM a success, we need your help. To find out how you can contribute to this exciting event please contact us at .

We intend to make Doors Open Milwaukee an annual event that will grow to incorporate unique buildings in other neighborhoods. In order to do this, we need to reach our budget, hire a part-time Program Manager, measure impact and results, promote, market, and draw as many people as possible to this one-of-a-kind Milwaukee event. Based on our research of other cities’ inaugural Doors Open events, we can anticipate 25,000 individual visits to our hundred sites if all goes according to plan.
Help us to reach our goal by making a donation to HMI’s Doors Open Milwaukee today!
