Maptacular is a project launched by the Milwaukee County Parks council, intended to use illustrated maps to reimagine and promote individual parks in the system. “There are over 150 parks in the Milwaukee County Parks system, each with their own distinct character. They teamed up with local artists, designers and illustrators to create parks maps, each in their own distinctive artistic styles.” (Source: milwaukee.gov/) I attended the event and spoke to a few of the artists. Such great talent in our humble city on the Lake! I did not know about this initiative before the artists were chosen, but stay tuned next year because I plan to be posting my own map for Maptacular 2019!
