Who We Are
We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) serving the youth of Milwaukee's city center since 2002.
Incorporated in 2001, Above the Clouds, Inc. is a non-profit, faith-based, free, creative arts program, which originated to reach disadvantaged children ages 5-17 years old in the Milwaukee area who would otherwise not have the means, or opportunity to participate in such programs. Since the first art class in the fall of 2002, our goal has been to expand our students' minds to the world of art for personal growth as well as to create a desire to pursue a career in the arts.
By using visual and movement arts classes Above the Clouds is providing growth opportunities for participating youth to learn self-discipline, self-control and achieve a higher level of self-esteem; thereby helping young people to become contributing family members and community leaders.
Dance, music, theater and visual arts activities enhance our communities and culture through museums, theatres, concerts halls and galleries. Educationally, the arts define our students and their creativity. We desire to unlock the creative potential in every child to be an artist.
