Winning Design: Treasures Through Time
A Gala to Preserve the Domes

In 1958, architect Donald L. Grieb’s visionary glass design was chosen as Milwaukee’s winning design for the Mitchell Park Domes. Over six decades later, Milwaukee Domes Alliance invites you to celebrate that legacy with an evening of art, design and preservation.

On Saturday, February 21, 2026, we welcome you to sample artfully crafted food and drink while roaming the Domes’ iconic spaces, encountering live musical performances, and browsing a collection of auction pieces that celebrate design, history, experiences and nature. The finale unfolds in Greenhouse 7 with a seated dessert and program reflecting on the timeless beauty of the Domes.

Every ticket and auction bid helps preserve this architectural treasure and community anchor for generations to come.
