Mission Statement

NYACE contributes to the diversity of NYC's vibrant cultural life and employs the arts as a tool to create a bridge of understanding between people of diverse cultures.

NYACE serves the low income population by creating programs that provide easy access to the participation in and viewing of highly artistic performances. In addition, the organization provides opportunities for relatively unknown performing groups to take part in our programs and, thus, widen their audience base.

Our programs include annual concerts aimed at demystifying Africa and connecting the community with music by African composers, a year-long workshop on African music that empower a multiracial group of low income, aspiring musicians with superior performance skills while they develop greater self-confidence, disciple and understanding for others, an annual festival that builds community and celebrates the diverse cultural communities in NYC; and a conference on African music and dance.


NYACE creates opportunities for an international sharing and exchange of ideas. In addition, the organization provides opportunities for relatively unknown performing groups to take part in our programs and, thus, widen their audience base
