Bubbler Quote of the Week

“The timing of this project is incredible. If you look forward to where the state of Wisconsin is going to be under the leadership of Scott Walker and his administration’s initiative to create more jobs and grow the economy, there is no question that the southeastern Wisconsin creative economy can have a potentially large role in that. We are looking forward to having input on emergency state policies in regards to job creation and business creation in our region and across the state. I don’t think the numbers can be ignored. The creative industries have an opportunity to be a part of the plan to create 250,000 new jobs in the state.”
~Paul Mathews, president and chief executive officer of the Marcus Center for Performing Arts on the Creativity Works! project
