Cultural Arts For Everyone

Cultural Arts For Everyone (CAFE`), incorporated in 2000, provides culturally diverse artistic experiences that enrich the lives of school age children and their families. Its purposes are to (1) provide education and cultural awareness for the underserved, including low and moderate-income communities; (2) promote artistic excellence that inspires community audiences; (3) build collaborations and partnerships that (a) develop culturally and ethnically diverse audiences and (b) provide access to quality artistic programs. During its first six seasons, CAFE` has presented more than 65 outstanding, culturally diverse music, dance and theatrical performances to more than 65,000 Memphians, half of whom were students, ages 5 to 18. Our performance series has consistently drawn a more culturally, ethnically, racially, and socio-economically diverse crowd of individuals. CAFE` was founded to meet a growing local demand for a culturally diverse selection of performing arts and to present audiences with world-class artists and performers who are ethnic minorities. Each year we work hard to enhance the quality of life in our community by presenting an exciting season of dance, music and theatre. Past performances have included: Al Jarreau, Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, Sweet Honey in the Rock, John Amos in Haley's Comet, Nai Ni Chen Dance Company, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Boys Choir of Harlem, Ballet Hispanico, Regina Carter, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Fisk Jubilee Singers and CeCe Winans.
