ARTS @ LARGE

We offer art related workshops and residencies to schools affiliated with MPS’s Arts at Large program. Schools can choose from programs in the Visual Arts, Theatre Arts and Creative Writing, Murals, Dance and Movement and more… We pride ourselves in serving students with a comprehensive arts experience and can create a workshop or residency that is tailor made to fit the needs of the students at the site. We provide qualified dedicated professionals with years of experience leading workshops and residencies.

SO/HO (Site-On Hands-On)

SO/HO is part of WPCA’s Hands-On program developed to reach students where they are at.
