About MACLA

Founded in 1989, Movimiento de Arte y Cultura Latino Americana de San José (MACLA) emerged from a vibrant community mobilization advocating for multicultural arts. Located in downtown San José, MACLA serves as a hybrid urban arts space that celebrates the Chicano/Latino experience while fostering connections among diverse communities. With a unique audience composition of 70% Latino and 30% non-Latino, MACLA has become a cornerstone for civic dialogue and social equity through the arts.
