MECA PRESENTS 2021 - 2022 SEASON
These amazing events are free to the public!
MECA Presents is a platform to convene community through the arts and encourage dialogue about issues ranging from social justice and equity to diversity and community transformation. From incubating works in progress to presenting local and touring work, MECA seeks to collaborate with innovative and socially engaged artists whose work expands the boundaries of tradition and practice. MECA is especially interested in projects that bring to light the experiences of life on the margins of societies, economies, and cultures.
MECA is supported in part by a grant from the City of Houston through the Houston Arts Alliance.
