MECA is a community-based non-profit organization committed to the healthy development of underserved youth and adults through arts and cultural programming, academic excellence, support services and community building.

MECA has served the Houston community as a cultural center for over 30 years. Although MECA is renowned for its pioneering work in ethnic arts education through such disciplines as mariachi and Mexican ballet folklórico, MECA nonetheless continually seeks new methods through which disparate and underserved communities — especially youth — can find common ground through the arts. This is exemplified by MECA’s interest in the innovation of time-honored practices, the artists whose work traverses the boundaries of tradition, and the critical role the arts play in the social fabric of daily life. The result is that MECA audiences experience the arts – folkloric, classical or avant-garde – as open to new methods of expression and modes of purpose rather than hardened by history.
