Our Partner Schools

For this year's Arte Para Todos we are honored to be working with and supporting 4 area scools: George Washington Carver Academy (Brewer's Hill), Escuela Vieau School (Walker's Point), Milwaukee Parkside School of the Arts (Bay View), and Frederick J. Gaenslen School (Riverwest). Each of these schools' art programs will receive an equal portion of 100% of the funds raised over the 4 days.

In addition to the 4-day fundraiser festival, Arte Para Todos is proud to produce a series of in-school music performances at several Milwaukee schools over the next few months. The performances will be followed by a Q&A with students. These events will be closed to the public and done as an effort to connect the local music community to the musicians and music lovers of future generations. WebsterX, The Fatty Acids, Field Report, Lorde Fredd33, Soul Low, Queen Tut, Ruth B8r Ginsburg, Mike Regal, Rhythm Changes, Lex Allen, and Sista Strings are among those playing an in-school performance as part of the APT mission to respond and react to the defunding of art programs in Milwaukee schools.

Our Mission

Arte Para Todos (art for everyone) was conceived as an answer to the defunding of art and music programming in schools, but it also serves as a replicable model of sustainable service to the community. We will always have the city we ask for, either explicitly or through apathy and inaction. Arte Para Todos is based on the idea that culture is an act of will, and that if we want a healthy, vibrant city where the arts can flourish then we have to act on that desire.

Sponsors

In addition to the support of the local music venues we would like to thank our sponsors for their outstanding support of the Arte Para Todos mission. If your organization would like to support APT this year please feel free to contact us!


Non-Profit Partner

Special thanks goes out to the East Side BID for helping us distribute 100% of all donations and ticket sales to our partner schools! We're proud to have the BID as our non-profit partner for a 2nd year, and APT and the BID are looking forward to seeing everyone out on the East Side for the Sunday events of Arte Para Todos 2016!
