News/Events
“Shop Shorewood: Spend the Day” is the strategy behind our many special events. These “traffic builders” are designed to stimulate interest in our business community and attract shoppers - old and new. These events also energize business owners by enabling them to participate through sponsorships, which in turn help the BID generate additional revenue to offset marketing costs. The Shorewood BID also welcomes and appreciates opportunities to partner with other Shorewood entities - this cooperative effort is a win-win partnership that benefits the entire community.
“Best Seats in the House” Public Art Event
Our custom-decorated benches have been the talk of the town this summer! “Best Seats in the House” engaged the entire community in a adventure of discovery as 41 custom-decorated cedar benches were on display throughout the Shorewood Business District along Oakland Ave. and Capitol Dr., and other landmark Shorewood locations. The benches were decorated by local artists using paint, mosaic, ironwork and mixed media. This popular public art event came to a close on Sunday, August 29 as they were auctioned off to the highest bidders to benefit the Shorewood Foundation.
