We are so excited to share that Grace Weber's Music Lab is a proud recipient of funding from American Family Insurance in support of our 5th season!

“American Family is strongly committed to the city of Milwaukee through our numerous partnerships with nonprofits and organizations like Milwaukee World Festival,” said Judd Schemmel, American Family associate vice president of community investment and sponsorships. “We’re pleased to help Grace Weber’s Music Lab bring beneficial music and arts education experiences to Milwaukee-area high school students.”

This partnership was commemorated with a special Summerfest pop-up performance in September of 2021. The performance lineup consisted of past & current Lab students at the AmFam House on the grounds; hosted by Lab Coordinator/artist B~Free & founder, Grace Weber.

As we continue to safely navigate our program offerings amidst the ever-changing circumstances surrounding COVID-19, we are appreciative to have the support of American Family Insurance to proceed forth with these efforts!
