Tune in to WYCE for intimate in-studio interviews - and live performances - from local and touring musicians. We bring you up close to some of our favorite acts as they share brand new songs - often before they're even released - with stories and insights behind the music.

Support for WYCE comes from UICA, Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts.

UICA features gallery exhibitions of work from regional, national and international artists throughout the year and hosts a range of events including concerts, performance art, artist receptions and gallery talks.

Cultivate - UICA's ArtPrize Nine exhibition - is a curated group show that uses food as a lens to examine cultural history, social equity, and the effects of globalization on communities. Get a first look at the exhibition on September 9the during OddBall, UICA's signature fundraising event and ArtPrize kick-off party -- or become a UICA member today to enjoy exclusive benefits during ArtPrize Nine.
