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 54% of Milwaukee County youth are not enrolled in visual, music, dance, or theater arts instruction as part of their education.

$25 – Covers the cost for one student to attend an Artist-in-Residence field trip

$65 – Provides art supplies for onsite youth programs

$150 – Funds an additional week of A.I.R. Academy for one student

$350 – Supports a digital arts workshop for an entire classroom

$575 – Sponsors an Artist Educator for an A@L community program

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

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

Flock Opening Celebration

We welcome Hattie Grimm as our Spring Artist in Residence as she opens her residency Flock: Exploring Collective Practice, Radical Imagination, and the Wisdom of Birds.  Hattie is an artist and educator inspired by the intuitive wisdom of birds and the natural world.  Her work explores how we can be more receptive to our own animal bodies’ communication and uncover something more true and alive in everything and in ourselves.  With a BA in Art Education from UW-Madison, she taught art to middles school and high school students for four years and has led art workshops across the state, including the Chazen Museum of Art, MOWA, and UWM.  She has show her paintings, sculptures and puppet parades thoughout Wisconsin.
