A huge thank you to Blick Milwaukee, their incredible staff, and everyone in our community who donated to their Give & Get art supply drive this summer!

Thanks to your generosity, we received more than $4,000 worth of much-needed art supplies that will support our youth programming and help young people bring their ideas to life. We were truly overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone who participated. Your donations are helping ensure that our young artists have the tools, materials, and creative opportunities they need to explore, experiment, and create.

Thank you for helping make the arts accessible to all!

Your support went TWICE as far!

Thank you to everyone who gave during National Arts in Education Week! Because of your incredible generosity, we raised $4,910 to help ensure more young people have access to meaningful, art-filled learning experiences.

Every gift helps put creativity, confidence, and opportunity into the hands of young people. Thank you for helping make the arts accessible to all!

The arts do more than inspire creativity. They help equip students with the skills and support they need to succeed across every measure:
- Academic Achievement: Supporting stronger academic performance and graduation outcomes
- Workforce Readiness: Building creativity, collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills
- Student Wellness: Creating opportunities for self-expression, connection, and belonging
- Equity: Expanding access to transformative learning experiences for every student

At Arts @ Large, we believe every young person deserves access to the arts.

Art has the power to inspire, empower, and transform.

This , we’re celebrating the incredible creativity of Milwaukee’s young artists—and the ideas, voices, and possibilities they bring to life through Arts @ Large programming.

Each year, we reach more than 4,600 Milwaukee County youth, providing opportunities to create, explore, collaborate, and grow through the arts.

The arts are a proven tool to help youth develop critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills - while creative expression gives them space to find their voice, build confidence, and see what’s possible.

At Arts @ Large, we believe every young person deserves equitable access to high-quality arts education. We’re working to make that a reality for all.

Every student, every community deserves access to the arts.

Because of your support, Arts @ Large helps change that story here in Milwaukee—providing over 4,600 students with meaningful opportunities to learn, create, and express themselves through the arts.
