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

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

Jam House

Join us for Jam House with host Jeanne Marie Farinelli. A talented saxophonist and Milwaukee educator, she regularly performs with local jazz groups. Her music blends modern influences with traditional jazz, creating a soulful and unique approach to improvisation. She is returning to Jam House after hosting last year, and we are so excited to have her back!

Jam House is free and open to all.  Doors open at 6:30 PM, and the music starts at 7 PM.  These jams are open to all ages and genders, offering a welcoming space for music lovers of every background.
