Tia Chucha’s cultural center now provides year-round on-site and off-site free or low-cost arts and literacy bilingual intergenerational programming in mural painting, music, dance, writing, visual arts, healing arts sessions (such as reiki healing) and healing/talking circles. Workshops and activities also include Mexica ("Aztec") dance, indigenous cosmology/philosophy, and two weekly open mic nights (one in Spanish, the other in English). We host author readings, film screenings, and art exhibits as well.
Our 2012 "Rushing Waters, Rising Dreams: How the Arts Are Transforming a Community" book and documentary film (watch here) offer a glimpse of the many ways Tia Chucha's and the arts impact and save lives in the Northeast San Fernando Valley and beyond.
