ABOUT

About Medley Arts Center

Medley Arts Center is a multi-use creative hub in Bryn Mawr designed to support music education, rehearsals, workshops, small-scale performance, and community arts programming. The goal is to create an accessible, inspiring space where students, educators, artists, and organizations can grow and collaborate over time.

There is a real need on the Main Line for a welcoming, professionally equipped space that sits between high-cost commercial venues and informal rehearsal or teaching setups. Medley is meant to fill that gap with something flexible, high-quality, and community-oriented.

  • Multi-use creative arts space
  • Designed for both educational and professional use
  • Community-oriented and artist-friendly
  • Built for long-term growth, collaboration, and recurring use

Medley Arts Center is founded by Jake Leschinsky, a musician, educator, and arts organizer with extensive experience in performance, instruction, scheduling, and creative program development.
