MCTS bus shelter art program's Pop Spots provide learning opportunities

The MCTS Bus Shelter Art Project, which has beautified bus shelters with 29 works from local artists since it began in 2018 has now added 24 more canvases, thanks to its new Pop Spots initiative. These provide activities that spark learning.

Two dozen shelters around the city will become places where children can use their imaginations thanks to artwork created in collaboration with The City of Milwaukee Office of Early Childhood Initiatives and Milwaukee Public Schools.

One of the shelters was unveiled Tuesday morning at 64th and Silver Spring by Mayor Cavalier Johnson, MCTS Community Outreach Coordinator Jacqueline Zeledon, Director of City of Milwaukee Office of Early Childhood Initiatives Dea Wright, Milwaukee Public Schools Senior Director of Curriculum and Instruction Felicia Saffold, Ed.D. and Creative Director at bvk and Founder/Creative Director at Serve Gary Mueller.
