About MYArts

Madison Youth Choir practicing at MYArts center

MYArts is much more than a building. It’s the best place for youth arts in Madison. It’s a wide open and welcoming community where you can discover yourself, your talents, and your friends through the arts.

MYArts was built for kids and youth and teens and tweens and everyone else in between!
Are you an explorer? A creator? A fearless voice? An artist seeking your community?
MYArts is a place where you–your art, your ideas, and your identity–matter.

MYArts is yours.

“The Madison Cello Ensemble is delighted by the opportunity to call MYArts our new home. The staff is welcoming and wonderful, the central location works well, the chance to meet and collaborate with other youth arts organizations is a highlight, and the space is well ventilated and beautiful. Holding our rehearsals in a space designed for youth arts is a dream come true! We are both thrilled and grateful to be at MYArts!”
