CMA Cultural Festivals are a monthly series featuring twelve ethnic or cultural communities in New York City per year. Collaborations with community-based organizations and educators allow CMA to network with guest artists in genres that are typically not featured at CMA – such as dance, music, theatre, and puppetry – and promote the events to new audiences. Through the CMA’s Cultural Festivals, the Museum provides guest artists with a venue to perform showcase various cultural traditions representing diverse families in NYC and foster increased awareness of the benefits of arts education among new audiences.
