One of 40 organizations recently recognized for its contributions to the history, culture, vibrancy, and identity of communities of color in greater Chicago (see Chicago Cultural Treasures), Segundo Ruiz Belvis Cultural Center (SRBCC) is the longest-standing Latino cultural center in Chicago. Established in 1971, it was named in honor of Segundo Ruiz Belvis, a Puerto Rican patriot and member of a secret abolitionist society that freed slave children under Spanish rule. In that spirit, SRBCC realizes its mission to preserve and promote appreciation of the culture and arts of Puerto Rico and Latin America, with a focus on its African heritage.

Easy to get to, just 20 minutes west of Chicago’s Loop, The Dominican University Performing Arts Center (DUPAC) features two halls, Lund Auditorium (with less than 1,200 seats) and Martin Recital Hall (an intimate 180-seating setting), with superb acoustics, ideal sight lines, and ample, free parking.

Launched as Center Stage in 1999, Dominican University Performing Arts Center has evolved over the past 20 seasons from presenting unknown artists to small houses (with sometimes as few as 10 people) to presenting nationally and internationally known names, as well as new faces, to sold out houses.
