These communities are in dire need of this type of facility since the Chicago public school system provides very little extra-curricular activity in the performance arts to most of its students and opportunities for artistic expression are very limited for these youth. For over 35 years, there hasn’t been a performance arts center or YMCA, or Boys & Girl Club and no community center (larger than a storefront) in the area. The performing arts art campus will be a 24-hour facility and open to everyone. Admittance to the center will be on a sliding scale basis, but NO ONE will be left out.
