About the Brazilian Center
The Brazilian Center for Cultural Exchange is a fledgling but vibrant nonprofit located in the heart of Midtown at CLARA (E. Claire Raley Studios for the Performing Arts). We are dedicated to fostering an exchange of culture between the diverse members of our community -- native Sacramentans, native Brazilians, and everything in between. We do this by providing a number of arts-and-culture-focused classes including Afro-Brazilian Dance, Samba Drumming, Brazilian Cooking, Belly Dancing, Folkloric Dance, Capoeira, Portuguese language classes, and much more. And, we partner with a broad range of cultural groups, including Agua de Beber, Henna & Kohl, and the Creative Arts Alliance.
Our vision is of a community center which hosts a free and open exchange of ideas and culture; of an arts center where artists from all walks of life and experience can find common ground to express themselves for our community’s benefit and enrichment. But, we can’t do this without help - won’t you join us?

Mission Statement
CLARA -- The E. Claire Raley Studios for the Performing Arts -- provides studio, classroom and performance space to a tenant mix of Sacramento's Performing Arts, Visual/Media Arts, and Cultural/Educational organizations at below-market-level rates, providing them with added ability to invest in additional production resources, expand their revenue-producing programming, or otherwise pursue options for further fiscal stability. Furthermore, having multiple arts groups working under one roof provides organizations with opportunities for partnership - business partnerships that foster economies of scale as well as creative partnerships that will generate unique work - and result in a more vibrant, vital arts community in Sacramento.
Description
CLARA provides studios for both professional and community-based arts groups and a place for creative collisions and collaborations. Students in Sacramento City Unified School District have access to arts summer camps, internships, tickets and scholarships fostering interaction with professional artists in a studio environment. Classes and performances offered daily. Housed at the historic Fremont School in Midtown Sacramento, CLARA was funded by grants from the City of Sacramento and private donations, including the Raley-Teel family. It was named using a combination of Joyce Raley Teel’s mother’s name, Claire, and the Raley surname. For more information, visit claramidtown.com.
