About the Awards
The Kairos Award recognizes exceptional achievements in the arts--including the advancement of the arts--through activities at Marquette University and beyond. The Greek word “kairos,” which means “the creative moment in time,” has been chosen to symbolize the spirit of this award. The Patricia B. Apple Award recognizes individuals whose service has made a lasting impact on the Friends of the Haggerty Museum of Art. The award is named for Patricia B. Apple, chair of the fundraising campaign to build the Haggerty Museum of Art and inaugural president of Marquette University's Women’s Council.

About the Recipients
Sculpture Milwaukee | Kairos Award 2021
Sculpture Milwaukee is an urban public art exhibition perched on the shores of Lake Michigan and extending into the heart of downtown. It leverages one of the finest and most unique public art exhibitions in the world to engage an incredibly diverse set of audiences in myriad ways. From global art aficionados to downtown employees, from suburbanites to tourists to Milwaukee residents, Sculpture Milwaukee balances a universal brand with nuanced messaging and engagement opportunities that invite individuals from all audiences to interact with art and the environment in which it resides. Now in its fifth year, Sculpture Milwaukee has become a vibrant component of downtown Milwaukee, and a powerful example of the impact that public art can have on an entire community. Sculpture Milwaukee was the vision of Marcus Corporation Chairman Stephen Marcus, whose passion for public art and Milwaukee continues to drive the project. Dynamic partnerships with Milwaukee Downtown BID 21, the city of Milwaukee, and countless individuals and community groups ensure a world-class exhibition each year. The organization is led by Executive Director Brian Schupper and governed by a twenty-three-member Board of Directors chaired by Wayne Morgan.
