Arts @ Large is committed to providing equitable access to educational experiences that include the arts.
Become a member of HEARTS @ Large for our 25th anniversary and turn a small monthly gift into a real, lasting impact.

Monthly giving stretches your dollars further, fueling consistent, creative opportunities for Milwaukee youth, ensuring more students don’t get left behind. It’s an easy, powerful step to help close the growing gap in Milwaukee.
For as little as $5 per month, you can support arts education for thousands!

2026 kicks off our 25th year!
We’re excited to mark this milestone by reflecting on our beginnings, our history, and the impact we’ve made in the Milwaukee community. Over the coming months, we’ll celebrate with special events and stories honoring 25 years of making the arts accessible to people of all ages.
Each year, Arts @ Large provides hundreds of opportunities for artists, across multiple disciplines, to engage with schools and the community.
All artists are educators, all educators are artists.
Arts @ Large builds the confidence and competence of educators to use the arts to engage students in dynamic educational activities.
Our commitment to lifelong learning starts with youth. These opportunities bring an awareness to creativity and instill an arts-integrated life.
We are proud to call Walker’s Point our home. Our mission honors the diversity that makes Milwaukee’s artistic community great.
