The Arts Page | This Bay View artist's work shines bright in windows all around Milwaukee.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2316870/fan_mail/new] Artists often say they make art as a means to escape. In stained glass artist Allie Fritsch's case, it was literally an escape. Late in high school she didn't want to take another science or a math class so she elected to take a stained glass art class. She fell in love with the medium. After high school Allie went to college and had to take an extended break from stained glass to focus on her education. Then the pandemic hit and, like the rest of us, she had more time than ever. Allie started working with stained glass again. She rediscovered her passion for it and her imagination started running wild. Allie now runs a small business called coolAFglass. She makes small pieces, big pieces, simple pieces, complex pieces, personal pieces, and commissioned pieces. She can be found at a lot of the art markets and craft fairs around town. "When people think of stained glass they think of church windows. I want them to imagine something else entirely," Allie says. A lot of her work is inspired by Milwaukee. Her pride for her hometown is on full display along with her beautiful, sparkling art. Find more programs at https://www.milwaukeepbs.org/stream

The Arts Page | Learn the importance of being who you are from this Milwaukee dancer.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2316870/fan_mail/new] In this episode of The Arts Page, we explore the intersection of movement, identity, and expression. Dancer, Choreographer and Creative Director Richard Buda Brasfield learned to dance because he needed an escape. That escape led to a passion for dance and performance art. As the owner of a dance company for many years Buda, as he is known by, started by creating a story. The main themes of those stories were often acceptance, representation and resilience. Those themes were at the forefront of a show Buda was recently featured in called Care: Illuminating Milwaukee's Queer and Trans Communities. Together with the UWM Peck School of The Arts and renowned American choreographer, writer, director, and filmmaker David Roussève they created a show made by and for the Milwaukee BIPOC LGBTQ+ community. The show featured a Ballroom performance. Ballroom culture is a subsection of the Black and Latinx LGBTQ+ communities. Buda, David and everyone involved in the Care project wanted people to experience Ballroom culture and celebrate it's positive aspects such as self-expression, familial bonding, and escaping discrimination through performance, fashion, and dance.
