Hispanic Canadian Arts and Cultural Association

The Hispanic Canadian Arts and Cultural Association is a non-profit association geared towards supporting the development of local artists, including musicians, visual artists, performers and others interested in Hispanic music and culture. The HCACA is based in the Greater Toronto Area but is open to participation and connections to groups and individuals outside the Greater Toronto area with similar interests. The HCACA provides an opportunity for musicians and other artists to perform and bring Hispanic music and culture to a mass audience in Canada, with a focus on local talent but not precluding participation from artists outside the Greater Toronto area. The HCACA strives to promote understanding and participation among the different ethnic and cultural groups that make up the Hispanic community, and to collaborate with the diversity of peoples in Canada through the production and presentation of cultural and artistic events. The Hispanic Cultural Association (OHCA) was founded in the fall of 2010 in order to promote Hispanic culture in Canada, and is specifically dedicated to: Provide platforms for the presentation of musicians, visual artists, performers, actors, dancers and others through large and small scale events. Support, stimulate and provide working opportunities for artists to perform and bring Hispanic culture (music, visual arts, dance, theatre) to a mass audience in the Greater Toronto area (focusing on local talent but not precluding participation by artists from outside the Toronto area); Increase visibility of Hispanic culture in the Greater Toronto area through year-round programming; including festivals, concerts, exhibitions, workshops, etc. Promote and manage an annual Latin Arts and cultural festival in the Greater Toronto Area; Develop arts educational programs for children and youth in our communities.
