The business of music is tough, and it’s only gotten tougher. Changes in the music industry have left many behind including underground legends, session players, and even the big names themselves. When age, illness, or disaster threatens a long career, many have nowhere to turn. These musicians have been saving us with their music our entire lives. These are dignified people who never think to ask for help. Their lifesaving programs turn despair into hope.

As children, we all create art. We sing and dance together, we build sand castles, we make up stories and draw landscapes on the walls of our room. then somehow, life teaches us to become serious, get a 'real' profession and stop 'playing around', and links to our inner artist get broken. At Paracademia, we keep those links alive and awake them if they fall asleep. Paracademia is committed to nurturing and revitalizing our inner artists through the community efforts in education, collaborative productions and performances. We particularly support immigrants, especially women.
