The House Urban {THI} Arts Initiative is excited to announce the expansion of our center and programming in Madison.
Our new 3,000 square foot center offers professional training in performing arts for black and brown underserved communities.
THI provide programming for youth ages 4-18 and adult and wellness classes. Our dance program, Crushin' All Force, even won 1st place on live television for the state of Wisconsin 2007. Join us at The House Inc. and become a part of Madison's urban arts community.
Based in the Dane County area, we have had the honor supporting various events and campaigns, including those for former President Barack Obama,verture Center of the Arts, MyArts, Kohls Center Badgers Basketball Games, and many more.
We take pride in being a part of our community and contributing to its success.
In 2023, our fundraising campaigns were a great success! Thanks to the generosity our donors, we were to cover the salaries of five part-time directors and teaching staff, pay off our center's rent for the year, and provide exciting performing arts activities, productions, and performances. We are grateful for the support and forward to continuing to make a positive impact in our community
Welcome to our for-artist by-artist facility! Our programs are led by professionally trained artists who are passionate about nurturing young talent. We operate on a 50% volunteer basis, with at least half of our leadership staff being volunteers in which help support our youth scholarship fund.
In 2023, we fundraised $70,244.18
which covered our center's rent/overhead and administration staff for the season.
We are now seeking sponsors who believe in our mission to support the future of urban arts in our community. Join us in making a difference!
