Reginald Baylor: Great Lakes Modernism

Jan 16, 2026 - Feb 28, 2026
215 N. Broadway, Milwaukee, WI 53202

With winter in full swing, we invite you to shake off the cold and join us for Gallery Night next Friday, January 16, as we open *Great Lakes Modernism*, a new exhibition featuring stunning paintings by Reginald Baylor.

There’s no better way to beat the winter doldrums than an evening of art, conversation, and community. 

Reginald Baylor’s vibrant new paintings bring warmth and energy to the coldest time of year, with bold colors and compelling narratives that remind us why Milwaukee is such a dynamic place to live and create.

This exhibition introduces Baylor’s exciting new direction: Great Lakes Modernism. These six paintings celebrate our region’s distinctive identity, capturing the unique light of Lake Michigan, the geometry of our urban landscape, and the creative spirit that thrives here year-round.

Mark your calendar for January 16 and plan to make Lily Pad Gallery West part of your Gallery Night route. Reginald will be on hand to discuss his work.
