Grants to this Grantee
for purchase of a building known as 510 South First Street in San Jose, California
At its performance space/art gallery, Movimiento de Arte y Cultura Latino Americana (MACLA) produces and presents live theater, visual art exhibitions, youth-focused literary events, and workshops reaching nearly 30,000 people each year through its low- or no-cost productions. The organization is in negotiations with the City of San Jose to purchase its currently leased building, located in the SoFA neighborhood. This grant would partially support MACLA to purchase its building, preventing displacement by major developers in the short term and contributing to ongoing activity in this thriving cultural hub.
