Everyone is welcome here
The center is open weekdays from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm (and often later for programming), and all are welcome to come enjoy coffee, daily free community lunches and an array of social, recreational and cultural programs. Come see us!
Arts to elevate the community
The arts have long played a central role in the Bayview community. Our redevelopment included ambitious plans for integrating murals, mosaics and sculptures created for the community with significant input from the people who live here. Come see this remarkable collection celebrating and reflecting the Bayview community.
Invest in futures
At Bayview, our six-week Summer Study program provides essential literacy and math instruction to children from Kindergarten through 5th grade, delivered by certified Madison Metropolitan School District teachers.
A contribution of $300 sponsors one child's full participation, ensuring they receive high-quality programming that combats summer learning loss and nurtures confidence, curiosity, and connection.
Your generosity can make a lasting impact. Please consider donating today to support a child's educational journey this summer.
"Bayview provides so many resources for our children. It's a nice place to raise a family. This is such a beautiful place to live and it's only getting better. We're blessed to be here. "
