National Hispanic Cultural Center

Location(s)

The National Hispanic Cultural Center, as its name implies, is a significant resource for Hispanic culture and for those who wish to know more about the Hispanic culture. Located in Albuquerque, NM, this organization is clearly as important as its name and the culture which it serves, with considerably vast resources and programs.
The National Hispanic Cultural Center is dedicated to preserving the rich artistic and cultural heritage integral to the Hispanic community worldwide. NHCC offers a Performing Arts Program, a Culinary Arts Program and an Outreach Program each designed to educate the public as well as a visual arts museum and an amphitheater.
The Roy E. Disney Center for Performing Arts recently opened with a world-class stage for theater, music, dance and more. A 691-seat proscenium theatre is the centerpiece of the Center with the latest technology in theatre design. A 291-seat theatre with a small thrust stage is intended to become a principal Albuquerque venue for Spanish-language films with broad audience appeal. The Center also aims to educate the public about Hispanic contributions to the performing arts fields.
