San Jose Multicultural Artists Guild

San Jose Multicultural Artists Guild celebrates D ía de los Muertos with traditional dances and a parade. San Jose Multicultural Artist Guild is a collaborative that provides for the administrative needs of three distinct culturally-specific performing arts companies: Maiko Women’s Drum and Poetry Ensemble, Teatro Familia Aztlan: Chicano/Latino Theater Ensemble, and Tabia African-American Theatre Ensemble. The San Jose Multicultural Artists Guild received a $10,000 grant through Community Foundation Silicon Valley’s Advancing the Arts Initiative, which is designed to strengthen and connect local arts organizations to one another and with the community. Funding for this initiative has been provided by the James Irvine Foundation and David and Lucile Packard Foundation.
