School and Community Arts
Our School & Community Arts programs are designed for classrooms, community sites, or other groups (afterschool, community, etc.) and can be integrated into remote learning.
Led by professional teaching artists, they foster creativity, artistic expression and self confidence in children and adults. Teaching artists work collaboratively with sites to customize programming for individual and group needs. Participants with and without disabilities engage in hands-on, interactive arts programming led by experienced teaching artists who have experience working with individuals of varying ability levels. Programs are available in all artistic disciplines, including visual art, movement, music, drama, and creative writing.

Person-Centered Care
At Arts for All Wisconsin, helping participants reach their personal goals is an important part of the work we do. In our classes and workshops, we practice person-centered care, an approach that emphasizes individuals' autonomy in making choices in order to fulfill their goals and needs.
Would you like to share your person-centered assessment and plan with us so that we might better assist you in meeting your goals? Please contact Jennie at jennie@artsforallwi.org for more information.
Support for our School and Commmunity Arts Programming comes from the Department of Public Instruction, Wisconsin Arts Board Steve Stricker American Family Insurance Foundation, Cap Times Kids Fund, Community Foundation of North Central Wisconsin, and the Pleasant T. Rowland Foundation
