The Vancouver Latin American Cultural Centre (VLACC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to celebrating and promoting Latin American arts and culture in Vancouver. Our mandate is “to contribute to the education and cultural legacy of all Canadians by exploring and sharing a deeper understanding of Latin American arts and cultures.” Through music, literature, visual arts, film, and community dialogue, we create meaningful spaces where cultures connect, and creativity thrives.

As a growing hub for the Latin American community in Vancouver, we bring together artists, cultural leaders, and audiences to share stories that reflect the diversity, history, and contemporary voices of Latin America.

Discover. Connect. Celebrate.
