Along with their partners at FiftyForward Madison Station, Metro Arts is hosting a drive-through arts showcase for “Madison on My Mind,” a community art project. All of the featured artists’ projects (visual arts, performances, costume design, even puppets!) are from Madison creatives, and they all celebrate Madison places and spaces. This project is sponsored by a National Endowment for the Arts grant targeted specifically at lifting up arts and culture in Madison. You can view all this while you drive through in your car!

Find out moreWe are so excited that FiftyForward Madison Station will be holding its annual Whistlestop event this year on March 11! FiftyForward Madison Station’s fictional Whistlestop train is heading to Louisville, Kentucky! As with most events, Whistlestop will look different this year, but we are excited about the format. Drawing off the success of our member Beep-and-Greet drive-through events this past year, the first part of Whistlestop will be a drive-through event. Prior to our virtual presentation, Whistlestop guests and FiftyForward members can drive through the Madison Station parking lot and interact with sponsors, hear live bluegrass music, have their picture taken at our photo booth, meet our conductor candidates, enjoy our prize wall, pick up their dinner, and get a Louisville experience from the safety of their car. Following the drive-through portion, we will hold a virtual presentation to highlight the value of FiftyForward Madison Station and our accomplishments over this past year. We will also unveil our Member of the Year, Conductor of the Year, and “Live Like Gilda” Community Service awards.
