Ecuadorian American Cultural Center

Our mission is to promote and educate about Ecuadorian and Ecuadorian American culture in New York City through the arts. We accomplish this by partnering with local artists, cultural promoters, and community-based groups to offer low- or no-cost programming and events that allow anyone who has an interest in learning about the Ecuadorian experience, culture and heritage. Our expectation is that through our work we contribute to the ongoing efforts of increasing cultural awareness and tolerance within our city. The resources and support we provide to our partners include (but are not limited to) rehearsal and performance space, leadership and management training, project management, marketing and fundraising. By providing these means and resources, we assure these individuals and groups can maximize their potential and reach broader audiences. Our vision is to live in a society where Ecuadorian culture is acknowledged and recognized.
