We are asking for your help as we build community, share culture and and bring joy to thousands through the power of the arts.
2008 has been an exciting year for Casa de la Cultura/Center for Latino Arts as we earned a Citizens Bank Champion in Action award and our first National Endowment for the Arts grant in more than 10 years.
