Our multidisciplinary and holistic programming is built on a foundation that the arts are a tool for personal discovery and growth. Our programs occur at community sites throughout the area, removing barriers to essential arts education and meeting youth where they already are.
Projects include:
- Sun Prairie Creates: A project in partnership with Community Schools in Sun Prairie offering youth immersive and creative opportunities in hip-hop, music, visual art, dance, and poetry. The Sun Prairie Creates project is supported in part by a grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts, as well as the Cap Times Kids Fund.
- GO-CART: A new project starting in the summer of 2024, taking arts and recreation activities directly to youth in Sun Prairie’s city parks. The Go-Carts project is a joint endeavor between PMA and the Sun Prairie Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department and is supported by the City of Sun Prairie and Sun Prairie Education Foundation and its designated funds established by Larry Coulthart and the Lee Buske/Sun Prairie Exchange Club.
- Make Music Sun Prairie: An annual local and global celebration of music on June 21st. Prairie Music & Arts has coordinated the event for three years, with musical performances and classes taking place at restaurants, businesses, community centers, and outdoor spaces.
- Guest Artist Series: Coming soon in 2025! A new performance series especially for youth and families. Check back for more details.
- Artsy Kids Classes: Coming soon in 2025! Arts-based classes for young children ages 3-6 – music, art, and theater
