On four evenings this year, the Milwaukee Art Museum will open after hours to host high-energy nights out – each one with live music, immersive performances and more. If you like to dance, mingle with some of Milwaukee’s most interesting people and experience art in a multitude of ways, you won’t want to miss any of this year’s MAM After Dark events.

“This season of MAM After Dark is designed to feel electric,” says Regan Sitorius, Signature Event Planner at the Milwaukee Art Museum. “We want guests to be entertained from the moment they walk in to the last song on the dance floor. Each event brings a new creative lens, but they all share the same spirit: art-forward, stylish, and unmistakably Milwaukee.”

These events offer an opportunity to enjoy the Milwaukee Art Museum in a completely different way than during normal business hours. Guests can dance in Windhover Hall, the dramatic interior of the iconic winged pavilion that has become Milwaukee’s most recognizable landmark. There is food and drink on offer, and every gallery is open for visitors to explore. Members can take advantage of discounted tickets and access to an exclusive members-only lounge.

For years, MAM After Dark was always one of Milwaukee’s can’t miss social events until COVID prompted a five-year hiatus. That long delay meant that when MAM After Dark launched again in 2025, it did so with more creativity and excitement than ever before.

Each MAM After Dark night has a unique theme that transforms the museum into a space to dance, chat, meet new people and make the MAM your own.

“MAM After Dark captures the energy of what a museum can be today: vibrant, social, and deeply connected to this city,” says Kim Sajet, Donna and Donald Baumgartner Director of the Milwaukee Art Museum. We’re thrilled to welcome guests after hours to experience the Milwaukee Art Museum in ways that feel fun, immersive, and unmistakably creative.”

WSJ: Billionaire Milwaukee Bucks co-owner targeted in extortion scheme – UPI.com

May 10 (UPI) — Wes Edens, the billionaire co-founder of Fortress Investment Group and an owner of the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks, was the target of a billion-dollar extortion scheme allegedly perpetrated by an ex-lover, the Wall Street Journal reported Sunday.

A spokesman for Edens, 64, confirmed to the newspaper that the financier is the unnamed alleged victim in a federal indictment brought against Changli “Sophia” Luo of New York City.

Edens, one of world’s most successful global investment management firm leaders with Fortress, has developed and owned businesses in real estate, transportation, infrastructure, health care, financial services, media and entertainment.

He is also a high-profile sports team owner, including the Bucks and soccer club Aston Villa of the English Premier League. He is credited turning the Bucks from a perennial cellar dweller into a champion squad over a five-year span, culminating in the 2021 NBA championship.

But he also fell victim to a lurid alleged “sextortion” scheme, his spokesman confirmed to the WSJ, admitting the Edens is the unnamed “Victim 1” cited an indictment filed last year in Manhattan federal court against Luo.

The indictment reportedly accuses her of trying to extort Victim 1 of more than $1 billion by threatening to release videos and photos of them engaged in sex. Prosecutors alleged Luo also threatened to contact the victim’s family members and business partners in a threat to destroy his fortune if he did not pay up.

According to the indictment, Luo was arrested June 14 at JFK International Airport as she tried to board a flight to China, the New York Post reported.

“Mr. Edens will be making no comment on the case as the indictment speaks for itself with respect to the charges against the defendant,” his spokesman told the Journal. “Mr. Edens expects to testify under oath at the upcoming trial.”
