Sun Prairie Creates, a collaboration between Prairie Music & Arts and Sun Prairie Community Schools, exposes youth in grades 2-8 in the Sun Prairie Area School District to culturally responsive arts-based programming. The project strives to enrich the lives of young people through innovative, multidisciplinary afterschool arts experiences. Activities, led by Prairie Music & Arts and held at schools within the Sun Prairie Community Schools network, are grounded in a hip-hop framework to empower, inspire, and amplify youth.
