more on the series:

This year, Mad Lit will hold five events spanning June 28th to September 13th with each night featuring a particular genre of music.

With the continued support of our sponsors, we are looking forward to creating a diverse and inclusive artistic experience. The 100 Block of State Street will be vibrantly lit as musical entertainment from diverse performers fills the space and visual art exhibits decorate the space with expression. Pop-up shops will use sidewalk space to showcase unique products from local, lesser-known small businesses run by people of color that appeal to all.

This year's series includes hip-hop, Latin, R&B, spoken word, and DJs. For more information about Mad Lit, visit https://www.ucanmadison.org/madlit.

Mad Lit is presented in partnership with Urban Community Arts Network (UCAN) and Greater Madison Music City and is sponsored by the City of Madison, Exact Sciences, UW Health, Madison Arts Commission and WORT 89.9FM. Sponsorship opportunities are still available.
