About CALA

CALA Alliance (Celebración Artística de las Américas) is a Latinx arts organization based in Phoenix. We collaborate with artists and arts organizations to nurture artistic talent, focusing on artists from the Latin American diaspora. CALA Alliance advances its mission through innovative artist residencies, artist commissions, community workshops, and public programming that position the Metro Phoenix region as a fruitful site that acknowledges and contributes to the promotion of Latinx art throughout the United States.

CALA Alliance envisions a cultural landscape that values the creative and artistic contributions of Latinxs in the United States, understanding that these histories are integral to the cultural fabric of this country. We are dedicated to inspiring and educating Arizonans about the richness of artistic talent in our local community and across the nation.

CALA Alliance is pleased to announce the much-anticipated return of its annual benefit dinner and culinary event, Sabor. On Thursday, October 19, 2023, at Heritage Park, CALA Alliance will present guests with a one-night-only experience inspired by Peru’s regional ingredients and culinary traditions. At this year’s event, Cloth & Flame will design a dinner for guests comprised of leaders from the Latinx, artistic, business, political, nonprofit, and community sectors.

Sabor proceeds directly benefit CALA Alliance and its mission to create shared arts experiences that encourage cultural understanding between people of the Americas. CALA Alliance is a Phoenix-based multidisciplinary Latinx arts organization that collaborates with artists and arts organizations to foster Latinx artistic talent in the MetroPhoenix region and beyond. CALA Alliance creates vital spaces for audiences to engage in artistic learning and presents public programs that create intercultural dialogue, revealing the complexity and dynamism of our communities. In so doing, CALA Alliance’s program catalyzes community understanding of contemporary social issues from Latinx, Indigenous, and Latin American perspectives.
