Through a few of our clients, some of us here at DeRiah have had the opportunity to learn about an art program offered in the Milwaukee area schools. Arts@Large “consistently advocates for the connection of arts to academics by buildig sustainable partnerships between the arts, community, K-12 educators and students, public policy makers and institues of higher education.” Created in 2001, Arts@Large offers programs such as MKE Civil Rights, Heroism Projects, Student Teams and Go Green Arts, to schools that meet certain criteria. Examples of the criteria are an enrollment less than 500, a diverse ethnic, social, developmental and academic focused student population as well at .2 or less art/music specialist allocations.
