I had often dreamed of a place that could be a home for music, dance, and other arts, but also where performances could be enjoyed. Such a place is the mission of New Rhythm Arts Collaborative (NRAC) based in the Woodlawn neighborhood of Chicago. NRAC provides a place for exploration and expression of music and other creative arts. Our hope is that we be a gateway to the discovery of personal worth, responsibility, and the desire to achieve.
