Have you heard of Arts @ Large? This local organization "is an innovative program that provides multidisciplinary arts experiences for Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) K-12 students. Created in 2001 as an MPS District Program through funding from the U. S. Department of Education, Arts @ Large was designed to provide sustainable arts programming for students, and professional development in connecting arts to academics for teachers and after school providers in MPS. Arts @ Large became a nonprofit organization in 2005 in order to partner with local, regional and national funders to maximize resources for MPS schools. Arts @ Large initiatives highlight the essential role that art and music specialists and members of the greater arts community play in creating an inclusive atmosphere of classroom learning."
Arts @ Large combines doing what we love with the notion of giving back; this is something we really emphasize here at our university. If you are interested in this group, definitely shoot them an email and check out their events page. Have an experience with Arts @ Large? Tell us your story in the comments!
