We welcome Hattie Grimm as our Spring Artist in Residence as she opens her residency Flock: Exploring Collective Practice, Radical Imagination, and the Wisdom of Birds. Hattie is an artist and educator inspired by the intuitive wisdom of birds and the natural world. Her work explores how we can be more receptive to our own animal bodies’ communication and uncover something more true and alive in everything and in ourselves. With a BA in Art Education from UW-Madison, she taught art to middles school and high school students for four years and has led art workshops across the state, including the Chazen Museum of Art, MOWA, and UWM. She has show her paintings, sculptures and puppet parades thoughout Wisconsin.
Short and long-term artist residencies are available for artists seeking to use their artform as a way to engage students in learning across the spectrum of academics, art, music, dance, and more.
These residencies not only provide crucial access to creativity for students but also provide space for artists to deepen their art practice while diversifying their income. Schools across Milwaukee benefit from the work of Arts @ Large and the Artist Educators that partner with us.
