The Near North Magnet Cluster (NNMC) program builds self-esteem through literacy and the arts for 1,200 students in three Cabrini-Green public schools. Three hundred of these students participated in fine arts classes culminating in the Festival of the Heart: a theater, music, and dance performance.
