The Waxwing (also on FBook), a new art gallery in Shorewood, was the site of a packed “Third Thursday” networking session for Local First Milwaukee. The Waxwing, started by Steph Davies, shows the artwork of 80 different artists – from jewelry to clothing to for-your-wall fine art pieces. Here’s what I heard from the various business owners…
