Description:

The Esperanza Peace and Justice Center is a grassroots, community-based arts & cultural organization, built around a vision of social justice and cross-cultural understanding. We are committed to serving marginalized communities and preserving San Antonio’s unique cultural heritage. We produce and present programs that provoke dialogue, honor traditional cultures, nurture new aesthetics, renew the soul, break stereotypes, and strengthen communities. The Esperanza's Museo del Westside is dedicated to preserving and presenting the unique history, heritage, culture, pride, and experiences of la gente del Westside de San Antonio. We hope to increase understanding and appreciation of the neighborhood and its people in order to create a more vibrant future for our community.
