Our History
Since 2010, Indigo's Cultural Art Centers has proudly provided quality programming and events designed to enliven the African spirit in everyone we touch.
Our collective work as Indigo’s Cultural Art Centers has allowed us to sponsor three major initiatives:
The Greensboro Kwanzaa Collective , our very first initiative, 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 are enhanced through this program.
The ICAC Teen Mentorship Rites of Passage program unofficially began in 2011, and two cohorts successfully graduated. We invite our community to let us know if it wants to revive this program that now falls under The African School. TAS is an educational program that helps youth and adults of the African diaspora to connect the dots between their historical timelines and how they live and experience their culture today.
Our Mission and Vision
Indigo's Cultural Art 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 teach, celebrate, and remember what makes us a unique people.
