Last week we introduced you to the poet Rashad Wright who lives in a unique artist community in Paterson called Prototype 237. This week WBGO’s Jon Kalish takes us to this unique live/work space where art and music is made in an industrial building.

It's the final segment of Jon's three-part series into the Wright family and the impact it has had on the arts and beyond.
