Artists

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, music, dance, and more.

These residencies not only provide crucial access to creativity for students but also provide space for artists to deepen their art practice while diversifying their income. Schools across Milwaukee benefit from the work of Arts @ Large and the Artist Educators that partner with us.

The Arts @ Large Community Center Artist-In-Residence program provides artists the opportunity to showcase their own art and creative practice, while also building community and capacity to translate their work as artist-educators.

The 2024-25 Artist-in-Residence program at the Arts @ Large Community Center features a diverse group of artists selected from among more than 60 applicants by a jury of past artists-in-residence and arts professionals.

2024-25 Artists-In-Residence:

October – December 2024
Rozalia Singh

January – March 2025
DeMar Walker

April – June 2025
Nohemí Chávez-Contreras

Thank you to our generous sponsors at The Ruth Arts Foundation, Milwaukee Arts Board, and Wisconsin Arts Board for making our residencies possible.
