Madison Youth Arts Center 

Ground has been broken and construction is well underway with an anticipated opening of September 2021 for the Madison Youth Arts Center.  A 65 thousand square foot multi level facility which will provide area Madison youth an opportunity to engage in all the arts: dance, music and theater.

Anchored by Children’s Theater of Madison and Madison Youth Choirs about 20 other non profit youth organizations have been in dialogue about using this space and Suzuki Strings has been part of the discussion from the beginning design stages to the possibility of collaborating in this exciting community of shared  youth arts organizations. More information on this exciting space and SSM involvement will be made available by June 2020.
