Arts @ Large works with a diverse group of multidisciplinary (visual, literary, performing, and multimedia) artist educators that help to make up Wisconsin’s vibrant artist community.  

Collaboration is the key to successful arts experiences. The artist is an expert in his or her art discipline and is essential in communicating the creative process of that specific art form to an audience. Successful partnerships between artist educators, teachers, after school providers and students develop projects based on shared curricular objectives.

Arts @ Large works with a variety of artist educators to both provide and experience workshops that help to expand creativity and knowledge in arts integration methods. These professional development events not only give educators various tools to help bring the arts into the classroom but also provide a space for collaboration to bloom.

In 2009/10, Arts @ Large worked with 117 artist educators, providing 140 artist residencies for more than 12,500 students, teachers and after school providers.
