What is VLACC?
OUR MISSION
Contribute to the education and cultural legacy of all Canadians by exploring and sharing a deeper understanding of Latin American arts and cultures.
VLACC is the Vancouver Latin American Cultural Centre, a non-profit organization established in 2012 in Vancouver, B.C., Canada, that celebrates cultural diversity by sharing Latin American culture with all! We offer the opportunity to learn more about Latin American arts and culture, make new friends, contribute to your community, and have a wonderful time doing it!
Most of our programs are presented in English, and admission is often free. Our activities encompass concerts, visual art, author readings and discussions, youth activities, choral singing and more. Our dream of a Latin American Cultural Centre in Vancouver gets closer every day! We are working on building a physical hub for Latin American artists and audiences, to celebrate the increasing importance of the Latin American community in Canada.
