| Center for Latino Arts (CLA) /La Casa
de la Cultura: is a cutting-edge,
multi-functional community arts complex that conveys to
both Latinos and non-Latinos from all over New England,
the vitality of contemporary and traditional Latino cultural
expressions, including: folk dance and music, Latin jazz,
film, poetry and theater.
The Center joins our Jorge Hernandez performance
space (converted into a 450-seat venue from a historic
church in 1986) with a new community arts center
(renovated from the adjacent parish house in 2003) that
includes a gallery, dance studio and visual arts studio.
Goals:
The Center's goals are to preserve
and promote Latino arts, while providing high
quality and affordable:
- Arts Education, particularly for at-risk youth
in Villa Victoria;
- Advocacy, Coordination, Support and Incubation
for Latino
artists and arts organizations;
- Exhibition, Work, Rehearsal and Performance Space;
and
- Opportunities for Cross-Cultural Collaboration
between Latinos and the city’s diverse populations.
