Now in its fifth year, the HOME Refugee Steering Committee at the Lynden Sculpture Garden invites you to observe HOME 2023: WORLD REFUGEE DAY in a series of outdoor events and programs that celebrate Milwaukee’s refugee communities through art, food, fashion, and performance.

HOME is the theme of our work with refugee community leaders, community members, Call & Response artists, and allies. The HOME Refugee Steering Committee is building a space of leading, coming together, and celebrating refugee.

Tables Across Borders is global food tour collaboration highlighting chefs from refugees communities. The initiative was founded by JSS Executive Director, Kai Mishlove. For this event, we are collaborating with Morris Ramen to present a dinner by Chef Bakht Mohammad of Afghan Kabul Cuisine.

Join us for a winter market featuring crafts and treats from around the world! All items are handmade by refugees, immigrants and other community members right here in Dane County. The event is free to enter and %100 of sales will go straight to the vendors. This is a wonderful opportunity to support independent entrepreneurs as they work on building their small business. Some of the items for sale will include clothing, baked goods, children’s toys, honey, and much more! Please join us.
