“BUILDING BRIDGES, CONNECTING CULTURES”
The mission of the Center for Arabic Culture (CAC) is to promote Arabic Culture and the Arab-American experience through education and the arts
Goals
Among our goals are to:
Become the main resource on Arabic and Arab-American culture in New England for educational institutions, nonprofit and governmental agencies, and the community at large.
Open cultural exchange channels of dialogue between the Arab-American community and the greater New England community.
Empower Arab-American youth in celebrating their culture, and help its integration into the US cultural fabric including theater, music, and community service.
Encourage Arab-American and international Arab Artists by creating a forum for them on a local and national level.
Promote the Arabic Language through our Arabic School, a public school immersion program in Massachusetts, and other programs within the Center.
Acquire a facility that would house a library, a school, the arts programs, and other educational programs, to become a cultural home for the Arab American community.
Programs
Our programs are focused on four major activities:
Visual Arts: Exhibit, document, and promote art about the Arab world.
Performance Arts: organized concerts, dance, and theater productions.
Scholarly Activities: Organize lectures, conferences, and workshops focused on Arabic culture, history, and the Arab-American experience.
Arabic Language: Designed an Arabic language program that enables children and young adults to experience the beauty of the Arabic language.
