What we do

The United States is a nation of blended cultures. Throughout the centuries, alongside the Natives, immigrants and their American-born children have been a part of this colorful patchwork we call the United States of America, where creative expression not only differs state to state but also even within the communities comprising a single city like New York.

To understand where you come from and where others come from will help to foster a greater understanding and respect for different cultural values and customs. Arts integration is a powerful force that will allow people to experience things directly and develop a strong self-identity that connects them to their cultural roots.

Our Programs​

Our studies at World Heritage Cultural Center teach about world culture and heritage, to understand it, respect it, and to love it. We also promote the arts as an agent of social change in the world.

Our Vision

The World Heritage Cultural Center is vital for the future as it preserves cultural heritage, promotes understanding and respect among diverse communities, and empowers individuals through education and engagement. By fostering a society that values diversity, the center helps build a more inclusive and harmonious world, ensuring that the stories, traditions, and identities of all communities are recognized and celebrated for generations to come. 

Capital Campaign - Phase I

As the World Heritage Cultural Center continues its vital work of preserving and promoting the rich tapestry of diverse cultures and traditions, we are excited to announce our Capital Campaign aimed at securing a permanent home for our activities.

Imagine a vibrant space where the rich tapestry of cultural heritage comes to life, celebrating the diverse identities that shape our communities.   Together, we can ensure that future generations appreciate the beauty of our heritage and the stories that connect us all.

 

Target Capital: $2M Purpose: Acquire 13,000 sq ft facility in Connecticut
Our Headquarters: Central hub for programs, community engagement, and cultural events
WHCC is fundraising to purchase a building on the Newtown and Monroe, CT border
Join a legacy of cultural appreciation, inspiring change and unity through diversity

Need for Dedicated Space

Currently, the Center has built connections across 217 countries and territories, and we need a home to connect all the bridges we have built. Anywhere our HQ is established will be an instant global destination. Email us at info@mywhcc.org to get involved.

Create a Welcoming Environment

A permanent facility will allow us to design spaces specifically for cultural education, art exhibitions, workshops, and community events, making our programs more accessible and impactful. Phase II would be to create chapters with all our affiliations in the US and on a global basis.

Enhance Community Engagement

A fixed location will serve as a focal point for community interaction, fostering deeper connections among diverse groups while encouraging participation in arts and cultural activities.

Expand Our Programs

Having a dedicated space will enable us to broaden our offerings, including regular classes, performance arts, and special events that celebrate cultural diversity. Our offerings will also extend to benefit corporate environments by fostering cultural competency, enhancing employee engagement, and strengthening community connections.

Community Impact

Cultural Exchange

By investing in this campaign, all donors play a pivotal role in cultural preservation, ensuring that diverse heritages are celebrated and passed on to future generations.

Educational Opportunities

The new headquarters will serve as an educational hub where workshops and programs can empower individuals to engage with their cultural heritage.

Economic Growth

By establishing a vibrant center, we can stimulate local economic growth through tourism and community events, benefiting the surrounding area and beyond with our Affiliations – Chapter- Program.
