If you pre-registered for the optional program crawl, we will meet at Radio Milwaukee at 5:30 p.m. (220 E. Pittsburgh Ave.)

On Nov. 17, we will see Grace Weber’s Music Lab, a free monthly music and arts education program for greater Milwaukee area high school students. At the Music Lab, students have the opportunity to learn about the music and entertainment industries through featured guests. They are also given the opportunity to collaborate, perform, and build relationships with their peers. The Lab on Nov. 17 will be a collaboration between Radio Milwaukee and Milwaukee Film’s Take 1 youth filmmakers.
The Program Crawl is an opportunity to get to see programming from fellow organizations within the Partnership for the Arts & Humanities network. While we will just be visiting one program on Nov. 17, the hope is that this will kick off a larger program crawl in 2024 so that grantees get opportunities to learn from and be inspired by one another.
Networking continues from 6:30 p.m.
Optional off-site networking at Merriment Social (240 E. Pittsburgh Ave.)
"I am looking forward to the workshops and the insights the presenters will be bringing. I am constantly seeking new ways to foster more creativity within our youth."
"I am excited to continue my professional development and meet other arts education professionals!"
"I am excited to make connections with other groups and hopefully open doors for future collaboration and partnership."
"I am super excited about the intentional partnering this summit will provide. Milwaukee's youth non-profit sector has often been viewed as siloed organizations and I believe initiatives such as this one disrupt that narrative!"
