Proud to welcome partners from the Greater Milwaukee Committee, the City of Milwaukee, and a broad array of community leaders for an important conversation about street safety and investment. Thank you to Mayor Cavalier Johnson, GMC President Joel Brennan, and others for making MYAC a home for this dialogue (and sorry/not sorry for the active street construction along MYAC's perimeter to make our neighborhood a safer and more inclusive destination!)

While Youth Arts Hall is typically filled with sounds of beautiful music being played, today kids are diving into the world of coding and having a blast with RC cars!

A huge shoutout to the Wisconsin National Guard for spending the day at MYAC igniting curiosity and innovation within our community.

"When youth come to MYAC to pursue their passion for the performing arts, they quickly realize the specialness of MYAC as a place and the impact of place on their artistic and personal development. MYAC becomes more than a place, MYAC is their home."

“It’s as if art for art’s sake isn’t worth our time, when in fact, it gives kids an awareness about themselves and creative skills they’d never learn otherwise.”

Kids who perform gain skills that extend far beyond the standing ovation.
