YOU Can Keep the Beat Alive
Support Disaster Relief, Operations, Performance, Education, and Community

Chicago Human Rhythm Project has continued to  adapt, innovate and reimagine the way we teach, perform, advocate and build community. 

We recently launched our new arts incubator - the Mayfair Arts Center or “MAC”.  Continuing the work of the American Rhythm Center, the MAC will serve more independent  artists, more small to medium-sized dance companies and more children, teens, adults and elders  - through classes, performances and business development services. Just as importantly, the MAC will also honor the 63+ year legacy of Tommy and Peggy Sutton and the Mayfair Academy - a true South Side institution.

Please help us RAISE THE ROOF and support us by making a  pledge or a gift today. 

We are very grateful for your past support and look forward to seeing you in 2022 at the MAC, at  our July 18 Jubalee! Gala honoring Paul Levy and Mia Park or at our 32nd Annual summer festival  RHYTHM WORLD, July 8 - 24!
