History

Founded in 2000 as a Community Cultural Initiative at the Center for Traditional Music and Dance, Mano a Mano: Mexican Culture Without Borders attained independent, non-profit 501(c)(3) status in 2006. Mano a Mano works with an extensive network of artists and artisans to showcase Mexico's rich and diverse cultural traditions and promote and preserve Mexican arts and culture throughout New York City.

What We Do

Our programs engage children and adults in the appreciation of traditional music, dance, spoken- word, and Mexican folk art. We partner with schools, community organizations, and cultural institutions to provide dance and music presentations, hands-on workshops, and activities on folk art-making for children, youth, and adults.

We host a series of public events throughout the year. Our annual Day of the Dead celebrations, Posadas, and other holiday celebrations attract more than 13,000 participants annually.
