More than 50 local designers took over 40 different spaces
in Andy Nunemaker’s East Side home. The point? To raise money for breast and
prostate cancer research. The annual fundraiser has resulted in $4.4 million
dollars donated to the Medical College of Wisconsin since the event started in
1998.
This year presented a challenge and an opportunity for local
designers. Nunemaker’s home at 2221 N. Terrace is more than 11,000 square feet
and holds an impressive private art collection, including an Andy Warhol shoe
painting in the walk-in closet, a commissioned Reginald Baylor piece and works
from Alexander Calder, Roy Lichenstein among others.
The showhouse opens to the public on Saturday and will
remain open until June 17. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door.
