We're deeply grateful to the Centro Cultural de la Raza for hosting us here at beautiful Balboa Park. The Centro Cultural de la Raza was founded in 1970 as a Chicano Community Cultural Center and functions as an alternative space that encourages and facilitates artistic growth and cultural exchange in the San Diego/Tijuana region.
The Centro provides classes and features a dynamic inter-disciplinary schedule of events which includes exhibits, musical performances, installation art, readings, receptions, Azteca dance, Teatro Chicano, Ballet Folklorico, film screenings and other events. I hope this continues a wonderful relationship between the Laotian and Chicano communities for generations to come.
