READY TO ENGAGE AND LEARN?

The Marcus Center is committed to creating inclusive opportunities. Here's how to get involved:

THE MARCUS CENTER IS A GATHERING PLACE FOR EVERYONE.

The arts have the power to create intrigue, delight us, and spark our imagination.

It’s awe-inspiring to see the love of the arts take root with a first front-row experience. We are deeply committed to providing these opportunities to the Milwaukee community regardless of socio-economic status. And equally committed to making sure our programming mirrors Milwaukee’s diverse community.

We can’t wait to welcome you very soon at our next Engage & Learn opportunity.

Let's stay in touch.

There’s always something new happening at the Marcus Center.

Tell us about yourself and what you’re interested in so you never have an “I-can’t-believe-I-missed-that-show” moment again.
