Blazing a Path

Blazing a Path

Approximately 50 years ago, a group of local arts organizations created the United Performing Arts Fund, which they intended to serve as a united front for fundraising. Since then, UPAF, as it’s known, has grown into one of the area’s fundraising powerhouses.

‘Blazing a Path’ appears in the February 2017 issue of Milwaukee Magazine.
