Puerto Rican Arts Alliance (PRAA) is a Chicago-based nonprofit focused on advancing Puerto Rican and Latin art, music, and culture while serving as a community resource. Anchored in the city's Puerto Rican community, PRAA educates low-income Chicago Public Schools students from across the city and expands access to arts education and cultural programming. The organization operates the Latin Music Project in Avondale, offering music lessons for students from preschool through high school pre-conservatory, along with performances by visiting musicians and regular concerts. Through these efforts PRAA supports the development of young artists and broader cultural engagement in the community. As part of the nonprofit arts sector, PRAA collaborates with cultural institutions and education partners to broaden after-school and summer programs. A recent development is PRAA's partnership with the Sueños Music Festival to provide music education and studio arts programs for children on the Southwest Side, including Chicago Public Schools' after-school and summer programs.
