Earlier this year, the Village Cultural Arts Center partnered with TPAC to promote “Rhythm Legacy” performed by the New York dance troupe Forces of Nature Dance Theatre Company. After expenses, TPAC donated the proceeds of more than $14,000, to “The Village,” a non-profit organization designed to enhance the community’s knowledge of African culture through the arts and education.
