Community

This event removes the barrier between the stage and the audience and is free and open to the public. Anyone in the crowd can go from an audience member to performer, creating songs on stage with other local musicians. Every jam is recorded and can be distributed to participants. Come create and collaborate with the music community.

Jam House is more than an open-mic with a live backing band; it is a vibrant community space where musicians and artists of all skill levels collaborate to create original music. 

Thank you to CAMPAC, Milwaukee Arts Board, and the Wisconsin Arts Board for supporting Jam House.

Join hosts Gig Simulator in February (2/12) and March (3/19), a group of music teachers and performers in the area who welcome you to experience what the “gigging” process is like in a safe, judgment-free setting. Piano, amp, PA, and drums provided!  FREE – all are welcome.

Doors Open: 6:30pm

Jam: 7pm-9pm

With the support of multiple partners, Arts @ Large transformed a .52-acre city-owned neighborhood park into an outdoor eco-arts learning center called Paliafito Eco-Arts Park. The primary goal of the eco-arts learning center is to engage students, families, educators, neighborhood residents, and the broader community in hands-on, project-based environmental and arts learning. Primary features of the park include a 7,000 gallon stormwater cistern, native plantings, an urban agricultural feature, and a performing arts stage. Arts @ Large presents a free concert series, festivals, art making workshops, and environmental education programs that build neighborhood connections in an outdoor environment.
