In recognition of the arts as a means of expression for people of all backgrounds, our Arts / Entertainment page is dedicated to showcasing local artists and entertainers.  We regularly include profiles of up-and-coming artists who are attempting to gain recognition in their craft.  Nitty Gritty News understands that particularly amongst the youth, people of all backgrounds are able to come together and embrace various forms of arts / entertainment.  From hip-hop, to spoken word, to the latest in sports, Nitty Gritty News attempts to cover the issues and events that happen all across Chicagoland.
