making the arts accessible for all

Arts @ Large is committed to providing equitable access to educational experiences that include the arts.

"For 25 years, Arts @ Large has been committed to one thing:
to make space—space for creativity to flourish, for artists
to grow, and for every young person to see themselves reflected in the arts."

Did you know that 54% of Milwaukee youth do not have access to visual arts education?  Your support helps change that.

When you give to Arts @ Large, you’re helping keep our arts education programs free and accessible to every young person who walks through our doors. Every dollar—large or small—creates more space for students to create, to feel seen, and to discover who they are.

This giving season, choose your impact. Support creativity. Invest in youth voice. Help us ensure that every child in Milwaukee has the opportunity to experience the power of the arts.
