Performing Arts Series

The Performing Arts Series was created in an effort to promote Latino arts and artists on a national scale. Through this series of performances, the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center has become one of the most important venues for the presentation of Chicano/Latino performing arts. Over the last 10 years the Performing Arts Series has hosted artists such as Mercedes Sosa, Ruben Blades, Los Lobos, El Vez, El Gran Combo, Maria Elena Gaitan, and Lupe Ontiveros, to name just a few.

Performing Arts Series annual events include Febrero Loco, a night of Latina comedy featuring comedians from across the nation; Valentine's Day Oldies Dance, an evening of rhythm and blues commemorating Valentine's Day; Holiday Horns, a holiday tradition featuring the best in local and regional saxophonists who get together to perform holiday and jazz favorites. The Performing Arts Series features other national and international invited artists throughout the year.
