African American Cultural Center
Since 1958, the African-American Cultural Center, Inc. has enabled spirits to soar and offered sanctuary, validation and celebration for the duality of being African and American.
El Museo
Beginning in 1981, El Museo started as western New York’s only nonprofit visual arts organization dedicated to the exhibition of work by Latinx artists. Since then, El Museo has evolved and expanded its mission to include all underserved groups including people of African, Latinx, Asian, Arab, and Native American descent, women artists, and the region’s growing population of immigrants and refugees. The art displayed at El Museo embodies the ever changing diversity in Buffalo.
Locust Street Art
Founded in 1959, Locust Street Art was founded on the belief that art should be accessible to all. Today, that mission still holds true. With a variety of free studio arts classes for those from age 4 to adult, low-cost specialized workshops, and custom services to the community, Locust Street Art ensures that everyone in Buffalo will have the opportunity to become an artist.
Ujima Company
Established in 1978, the Ujima Company began as a multi-ethnic and multicultural professional theatre whose primary purpose is the preservation, perpetuation and performance of African American theatre. Forty-one seasons later, through providing working opportunities for established artists and training experience for aspiring artists, these values could not be more true.
