Artists Working In Education Inc

Our mobile truck studio program offers free, meaningful, drop-in art-based enrichment activities and dedicated teams of teaching artists to activate parks, libraries, and other public spaces with engaging hands-on art experiences for youth. In 2024, awe was able to serve over 4,100 unduplicated youth at 53 sites. Our program is the only visual arts program focused on increasing access to all youth across the city of milwaukee.

The rising artists council (rac) is a unique paid opportunity for young artists aged 13 - 18. Aimed at fostering artistic growth and providing a platform for networking among aspiring young artists in the community, awe's rac participants meet weekly to learn new artistic techniques, develop a portfolio of artworks, network and learn from working milwaukee artists while producing a culminating exhibition show. Each summer, awe also hosts several high school interns through mps's summer arts internship program. These individuals participate in a community-based art project and work alongside a digital media artist to document the process as well as create their own brand and digital online presence.
