MITCHELL STREET ARTS

Promoting creative abundance in Milwaukee

  • TWIG Artists in Residency

    A juried residency program open to Milwaukee based artists. TWIG residents receive studio space inside MISA, a creative collaborative environment, and a small stipend.

  • Public Programs

    Ranging from experimental creative programs like south baths and authentic movement to more traditional art classes in our makerspace such as ceramic, figure drawing, wood working, and darkroom photography. MiSA hosts over 300 programs a year and all programs are free or donation based.

  • Community Gallery

    The MiSA gallery showcases Milwaukee based outside artists, innovative group shows, and the work of our artists in residence. As a nonprofit, the organization is proud to support the city’s arts sector by taking no commission on works sold.

  • Partnerships

    MiSA believe’s everyone should have access to creative programs, especially those who can benefit the most from creative outlets. We partner with prison reentry programs and immigration groups to provide unique art therapy programs.

Through sharing resources, we reduce costs and other barriers that hinder the work for a better, more creative, world.

Our goal is to serve as a site for collective reimagining around what’s possible.
