Grace is a longtime Member of the Italian Community Center, and a volunteer for several events throughout they year including Italian Immersion Day, Carnevale, and the Italian Heritage Exhibit at Festa Italiana.
Grace Natoli Sheldon has been photographing food for over 40 years – from airport menus to cookbooks to magazine covers – her work is internationally-known! Continually, she is invited to exhibit at top art fairs around the country.
Her signature photographic food still life images (through #GracesKitchenArt – available on Etsy) have been exhibited at the New York Museum of Fine Art, Los Angeles Institute of Art, and the Milwaukee Art Museum.
In addition to having earned numerous awards, she has been chosen as a Featured Artist, multiple times, by Milwaukee Public Television’s Art Auction.
To tie into the theme of food, the ICC will offer a corresponding Member’s Room Activity during Gallery Night – fresh pasta dough will be rolled through pasta machines, and our guests may participate in a hands-on pasta shaping activity – simply being taught how to make the various shapes of pasta. Our guests take home their freshly shaped pasta!

Day Trip to Chicago
Sunday August 11, 2024
Join us for a bus trip to Chicago!
We will be taking a Coach Bus from the Italian Community Center at 9:30am. Our first stop will be Eataly:
“Eataly Chicago is a bustling Italian marketplace with 65,000 square feet overflowing with restaurants, take-away counters, and a cooking school that serve the same high-quality food and drink offered just steps away in the full market. Eat, shop, and learn!. To navigate the market, we recommend that first-time visitors stop by the Guest Relations desk on the first floor, just past the entrance. The team of Eataly ambassadors will be happy to guide you on your journey, whether you are here to shop, taste, or enjoy a full meal.”
The bus will pick us up at 2:00pm to take us to Taylor Street Festival: “Taylor Street is one of the most historic neighborhoods in Chicago. From the late 1800s to about the 1950s, this area was a hub for Italian immigrants to settle and establish their families. It soon became Chicago’s “Official” Little Italy. Chicago’s Little Italy Festa-Taylor Street celebrates the great history of the neighborhood and the rich culture of the generations of Italians who settled there decades ago. Fabulous food from award-winning area restaurants, several stages of continuous family entertainment, quality merchandise from Italy, and colorful cultural attractions make this event one of the most popular of the summer.”
We will head back to the ICC in Milwaukee at 6:30pm
