History
The Puerto Rican Arts Alliance was founded in 1998 to increase awareness, knowledge and access to the arts by Chicago's Puerto Rican community to provide a venue for emerging artists and musicians to showcase their talents. While the Arts Alliance initially focused in serving the Near Northwest Side, PRAA programs now serve the Greater Chicago Metropolitan Area and the Midwest.
