making the arts accessible for all

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. As the gap in arts education continues to grow (last year alone, the number of Milwaukee County students without access increased by 40%), your recurring support helps us respond in real time.

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!

Tickets are selling fast!  Celebrate 25 years of creativity, connection, and community with us at a night you won’t forget. 

Join us for an art-filled evening of exceptional dining, featuring James Beard Foundation-recognized Milwaukee chefs and a talented mixologist, alongside local Milwaukee artists – supporting Arts @ Large’s FREE arts education programs.
