Arts @ Large engages Milwaukee’s high school students in a rigorous career development program that introduces them to “real life” work experience.  Our team collaborates with multiple community partners, teachers, artists and industry professionals to provide opportunities for students to experience the full scope of designing a path to a successful career.

arts4all is our way of saying “everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the arts!” On Saturdays, the A@L Community Center comes alive with art activities for the whole family. Local artists guide participants to explore their creativity in visual art, music, dance, theatre and the literary arts. Throughout the year, we host workshops that encourage life-long learning using a variety of art forms. arts4all experiences are free or low cost for participants – all made possible by generous contributions to Arts @ Large from Foundations, corporations and individuals.

Sacred Garden is a youth-focused open mic founded and hosted by artists Symone Leonard and Michaela Lacy. Our mission is to create a platform that amplifies the voices of artists in Milwaukee, specifically youth participants of color. Our space welcomes all ages and all art forms to share stories, pieces, and more. While adults are welcome to enter the space and grace our stages, the youth are centered and always heard first. We work to create a space where young folks can be authentically themselves without being policed and restricted by adultism. We do not condone racism, homophobia, transphobia, or any other hate speech on our stages.
