Arts @ Large builds the confidence and competence of teachers to use the arts to engage students in dynamic educational activities.
Arts @ Large offers an engaging professional development program that reveals new, exciting ways to use the arts to motivate students. We use the arts integration instructional methodology outlined in the book, Learning on Display: Student-Created Museums that Build Understanding.
Arts @ Large has a team of more than 100 artist educators in the greater Milwaukee area ready to provide your school with an innovative arts experience. Visual, literary, digital arts, dance, theatre, or spoken word, A@L is ready to create an artist residency that builds on the strengths of your school community.
The A@L team brings years of experience as teachers, school administrators and artists. Our highly qualified team of professionals helps your team identify themes and art media that will fully engage your students in arts-integrated learning.
Each residency comes with support from our Instructional Coaches to ensure learning targets are met. Our coaches ensure teachers are engaged in the process, and projects are implemented with fidelity, meeting the high standards you expect.
Arts @ Large works with a variety of community artists who specialize in school beautification projects that engage students, teachers and the community.
School entryways, hallways, and cafeterias, are all blank canvases that can be transformed into colorful representations of your school’s mission and values.
Outdoor installations on the front of your building, or unique sculptures on green spaces, bring attention to the vibrancy of your school – inviting students, teachers and visitors to explore the hidden treasures of your learning environment.
Arts @ Large school beautification projects begin with the ideas of your students, and culminate in the hands-on creation of installations designed and created by your school community, under the guidance of expert artists.
All-school performances bring your student body together in a community-building experience.

We’ll make certain that all performances are accessible to the variety of needs your students may have.
