 The Chicago Human Rhythm Project (CHRP) announces the establishment of the American Rhythm Center (ARC), a shared, affordable and sustainable education, rehearsal and administrative facility for several leading Chicago arts organizations. This new institution is located in renovated spaces on the 3rd floor of Chicago’s historic Fine Arts Building, 410 S. Michigan Avenue. CHRP will develop the ARC, a collaborative effort to foster community growth through rhythmic expression, in several phases. The aim is to offer diverse, high-quality dance and movement classes to the general public while centralizing the education programs, rehearsal space and administrative offices of several core groups, as well as additional emerging companies and independent artists. The idea for ARC grew from a CHRP strategic planning process followed by intensive, collaborative planning with participating community partners, including: • Giordano Dance Chicago *Limited operationsSUPPORT Major funding for has been provided by Elaine Cohen and Arlen Rubin, The John D. and Catherine T.
