MADISON —With the south side of Madison being one of the most diverse communities in the state of Wisconsin, it’s time to bring its various cultures together and give everyone a central gathering place for culture, community, and education.
The new South Madison Center for Culture & Community (SMCCC) will be located at 633 West Badger Road. The Center is a joint venture of The Nehemiah Corporation and Fountain of Life Church. SMCCC will serve the neighborhood as a community, educational, and cultural center. A ground-breaking ceremony to celebrate the Center will take place on Friday, June 22, 6-7 p.m.
“We envision our space becoming the community hub that so many neighborhoods in our city lack and need.” said Rev. Dr. Alex Gee, founder and president of Nehemiah and Senior Pastor of Fountain Of Life Church. “The South Madison Center for Culture & Community will offer cultural programming as well as physical space for other organizations to provide Madison’s multicultural and multigenerational residents a venue that promotes beauty, art, cultural pride and identity in a rich urban setting.”

The mission of SMCCC will be:
• To provide a beautiful and conveniently located cultural arts venue in the heart of Madison’s south side
• To nurture and support efforts to improve the quality of urban life
• To encourage creative and performing arts which enrich, send a firm celebrate and affirm cultural identity
• To provide opportunities for meaningful gatherings, enrichment opportunities and social interactions where the diversity of our community is celebrated
