Artists

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

• In-school Residencies
• Gallery Exhibitions 
• Professional Development 
• Public Art Installations 
• Performances 

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. This unique residency offers artists:

• Time for Reflection and Research Exploration
• Portfolio Curation which includes Curriculum/Workshop Design
• Gallery Night MKE Opening and three month exhibition
• Time and space for art making production
• Professional Documentation of work
• Discounted meals at Arts@Large Cafe
• Compensation of up to $10,000

Workshops, community conversations, exhibitions, performances, and merchandising are just a few of the opportunities that will be explored in designing a residency experience for our artists, teachers, students, and community.

The A@L Artist-in-Residence program may support a single artist or group of artists to collaborate across art forms. Residencies will be individualized and tailored to the needs of the artist(s) and Arts @ Large. It is our hope that this residency will support cultural and artistic exchange, nurture experimentation and new ideas, as well as support research and the development of new work.

Artists will be encouraged to spend a minimum of 5 hours a week in the space working on their practice.
