Our History
In 2024, Indigo's Cultural Art Centers celebrated fifteen years (and counting) of proudly partnering to provide quality programming and events designed to enliven the African spirit in every living being we touch.
Our collective work as Indigo’s Cultural Arts Centers has allowed us to sponsor three major initiatives:
The Greensboro Kwanzaa Collective is a thriving and long-standing program and partner of Indigo's Cultural Art Centers. We have hosted a number of community events and honored many of our cultural and communal elders and ancestors through our work.
The Healing Wheel Retreats and Conferences have allowed us to curate spaces for the healing and transformation of Black Women. We began this project in 2012, and we continue to expand our reach and impact with every cohort of women whose lives we enhance through our work.
The ICAC Teen Mentorship Rites of Passage program unofficially began in 2011, and two cohorts have successfully graduated. We are pleased to be opening registration for the next group of initiates very soon. We have taken great pride in mentoring and cultivating the spiritual lives of young adults aged 15-20 in our community, and we have seen many of them step forward into a brighter future that inspires those coming forward to take their place.
Our Mission and Vision
Indigo's Cultural Arts Centers provides culturally relevant programming and progressive conversations around the significance of the African experience in America.
Using the framework of the Nguzo Saba--the Seven Principles of Kwanzaa--we will teach, celebrate, and remember what makes us a unique people.
