About Us

• Corazon Del Pueblo is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit collective, and community cultural
  center, that promotes peace, social justice and cultural understanding through the arts,
  education and social action. Corazon Del Pueblo opened up its doors to the community in
  Boyle Heights December 18, 2009. Since then we’ve managed to keep our doors open
  without grants, private money, and no staff members. All our board members & instructors
  are all UNPAID VOLUNTEERS – donating their time, skills & knowledge.
  Since 2009 CDP has offered a wide range of FREE classes & programming, such as: Flowers of
  fire, our bi-monthly open mic/poetry night, yoga, jiujitsu, womyns self defense, nahuatl
  studies, knitting, jewelry, danzaazteca, capoiera, zumba, salsa, conga, clay, books in Spanish,
  zarape, papelpicado, Mexican folk art, music appreciation, poetry art classes & workshops
  for day of the dead, fabric for day of the dead, and making dolls from Mexico.
  We served as a focal point for Mexican and Latino cultural celebrations where people come
  to find culture, art, and spirit of community. Over the years, many artists found a home at
  Corazon del Pueblo.
