Some Fools Basement is an artists-run gallery and event space in Riverwest. Milwaukee is historic for its DIY spaces, making art accessible to the community. In the spirit of accessibility, Some Fools offers a space for students as well as a broader community of emerging artists to be seen and recognized. Using social media to promote open calls, all types of work are accepted. Shows often involve a theme, and all work is labeled with descriptions written by the artist themselves.

Live music often coincides with these shows, as Some Fools emphasizes the importance of conversation between artists of varying media. People coming for live music will be surprised to find visual art, and artists coming for the gallery will be surprised to find their new favorite local act.
