Artists

Schools across the City of Milwaukee benefit from the work of Arts @ Large and the Artist Educators that partner with us.  Short and long-term artist residencies are available for artists seeking to use their artform as a way to engage students in learning across the spectrum of academics, art and music.

The 2022-23 Artist-in-Residence program, at the Arts @ Large Community Center, features a diverse group of artists selected from among more than 50 applicants by a jury of past artists-in-residence and arts professionals. Artists featured will connect their work to one of four cornerstones that guide Arts @ Large programs: Technology and Innovation, Eco-Literacy, Peacemaking and Civil Rights. Artists-in-Residence featured in 2022-23 include:

Technology & Innovation: July – September 2022
Musician Sam Kacala (He/Him)

Eco Literacy: October – December 2022
Visual Artist Catalina Bayona (She/Her)
