Support Us

At Arts @ Large, we dream about a world where we are no longer needed — a world where all people, particularly youth, will have equitable access to the arts. Every day we confront the reality that 65% of Milwaukee County youth are not receiving visual, music, dance, or theater arts instruction as part of their education.

$35 – Provides art supplies for one student

$65 – Supports one teen in our Career Development Creative Careers Internship Program

$125 – Supports a month of free studio space for our Artists in Residence

$275 – Helps provide FREE monthly Jam House music events

$575 – Sponsors an Artist Educator for an Arts @ Large community program

$1,600 – Covers the cost for one child to attend Summer Camp

THANK YOU for helping us make the arts accessible for all by supporting our free, accessible arts education programs!
