ABOUT

About Medley Arts Center

Medley Arts Center is a multi-use creative hub in Bryn Mawr built to support music education, rehearsal, recording, 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, collaborate, and build meaningful creative work 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.

It is intentionally built to support both movement and sound, making it suitable for music, theater, dance, workshops, rehearsals, and small performances. The aim is to create a space that feels clean, functional, welcoming, and creatively alive from day one, even as the buildout continues to evolve over time.

LESSONS & PROGRAMS

Medley Arts Center is being developed as a home for private instruction, workshops, small group learning, youth programs, ensemble-based teaching, and creative educational partnerships.
