Become a Member of HEARTS @ Large

Become a member of HEARTS @ Large for our 25th anniversary and turn a small monthly gift into a real, lasting impact. As the gap in arts education continues to grow (last year alone, the number of Milwaukee County students without access increased by 40%), your recurring support helps us respond in real time.

Monthly giving stretches your dollars further, fueling consistent, creative opportunities for Milwaukee youth, ensuring more students don’t get left behind. It’s an easy, powerful step to help close the growing gap in Milwaukee.

For as little as $5 per month, you can support arts education for thousands!

Artists

Each year, Arts @ Large provides hundreds of opportunities for artists, across multiple disciplines, to engage with schools and the community.

Schools & Teachers

All artists are educators, all educators are artists. 

Arts @ Large  builds the confidence and competence of educators to use the arts to engage students in dynamic educational activities.

Students

Our commitment to lifelong learning starts with youth. These opportunities bring an awareness to creativity and instill an arts-integrated life.
