COA’s Music and Video Production Program gives preteens and teens the chance to develop their music production, singing, rapping, storytelling, acting, and video production skills. The program was made possible thanks to the generous support of the Milwaukee Public Schools Partnership for the Arts and Humanities. The kids spend four hours per week with their teachers at COA, who guide them toward finished creative projects. So far, teens from this program have performed at Arte Para Todos, MPS All-City Arts Festival, Colectivo Backroom, and FREESPACE.

Another key part of COA’s Music and Video Production Program is film. Teens in COA’s Music & Video Production program wrote, performed, and produced an original short film, Exposure, which was selected as a finalist and screened at the 2019 Milwaukee Film Festival in October to a packed house at the Oriental Theatre. Exposure was the only youth-produced film selected by The Milwaukee Film Festival.
