Arts and culture make considerable and necessary contributions to the well-being of a community. They are powerful tools with which to engage neighborhoods in various levels of change. They are a means to public dialogue, contribute to the development of creative learning, create healthy communities capable of action, provide a powerful tool for mobilization and activism, and help build capacity and leadership.
Esperanza Arts Center (EAC) sparks transformation in Hunting Park and throughout Philadelphia’s Hispanic community through the power of the arts. As a premier hub for Latin arts and culture in the region, EAC showcases world-class music, dance, theater, film, and visual art from across Latin America, the Caribbean, and beyond.
This space was created for our community and by our community—ensuring that everyone, especially our youth, can access vibrant, high-quality cultural experiences at little to no cost. We’re also opening doors for young people to explore careers in the arts and creative industries.
With your support, we bring HOPE to life—on stage, in classrooms, and in our neighborhoods!
