OUR STORY

ABOUT MYAC
The Milwaukee Youth Arts Center is a national model of collaboration between two youth arts education organizations, First Stage and the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra. MYAC became the first facility of its kind in the nation when its doors opened in 2005 in the city of Milwaukee.
MYAC supports our partner organizations by providing needed space and high-quality facilities at a reduced rate, as well as support from the MYAC administrative staff and operations team. These arts education organizations can focus on their individual missions with the comfort and stability MYAC provides.
