Ground will be ceremonially broken Tuesday to expand a youth arts center just north of downtown Milwaukee. But it will be done with a sledgehammer.
The organization will expand into the lower level of the building, adding two rehearsal halls, six studios and six small-group instruction rooms. The existing space, spread over a first floor and mezzanine level, includes offices, five rehearsal spaces, nine studio rooms and two practice rooms.

The art was done by Milwaukee Public Schools students.
“Last year, the art was featured in a display, at the Marcus Center,” MCTS Community Outreach Coordinator Jacqueline Zeledon said. “This year we wanted to take it a step further.”
The bus stops feature the art of contest winners.
MCTS traditionally celebrates King’s birthday in-person at the Marcus Center, but the pandemic forced changes.
“Normally we would have a display about civil rights and transportation in the reception, but since we’re not going to be at the Marcus Center, we still wanted to remain involved,” Zeledon said.
This year, riders will see the recognition at bus stops on MLK Drive one at West Pleasant Street and the other at West Concordia Avenue.

However, in 2020, the organization knew filling up the Marcus Performing Arts Center would not be possible.
