If you’re a high schooler who loves making art-or wants to try something new-this program is your chance to dive into reql creative work. You’ll build your artistic skills, learn hands-on techniques, explore Milwaukee's art scene, and work with actual professional artists—not just in theory, but side-by-side.

And at the end of each semester, you'll get to show off what you made in a public exhibition so friends, family, and the community can see your work.

AWE runs sessions in the spring, summer, and fall—each one is 10 weeks. You can join for one or come back for all three. Bonus: Students who get in can earn a stipend based on showing up and putting in the effort.

Class sizes are small, so you do need to apply ahead of time
