The American Center-Philippine Arts (ACPA) is a volunteer-led organization based in Oakland, CA, dedicated to teaching Pilipino dance, music, and multidisciplinary art activities as a means to explore heritage, history, and social justice. They provide a family environment where young people can learn about the rich cultures and heritage of the Philippines, while also addressing topics such as colonization, immigration, American Pilipino culture, and racial equity.
ACPA offers a range of programs, including youth dance classes, a string percussion ensemble, and music accompaniment for workshops and performances. They strive to empower youth through cultural expression and are committed to promoting inclusivity and advocating for social change. With a focus on the arts and education, ACPA aims to create a space where children can take pride in their ethnic identities and learn about love, pride, and respect for their heritage.
