A new nonprofit art center hopes to become a creative center for artists from the South Side and beyond. Mitchell Street Arts (MiSA) is located on the ground floor of Kunzelmann-Esser Lofts building in what was a former furniture store.
“Our three major programming areas are our stage, our artist-in-residence program, and our makerspace,” explains Rew Gordon, MiSA’s founder and director. Gordon says building a community art center was a dream over a decade in the making. After over a year of planning, fundraising and renovating, MiSA will have a grand opening Aug. 18, with a variety of events to follow..
MiSA’s stage will feature music, dance and theater, some brought in by community partners who might not have their own venues
