One Sample Cultural Foundation

Dedicated to preserving and promoting Latin American cultural heritage through inclusive programs and community engagement.

The One Sample Cultural Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving, promoting, and empowering Latin American cultural expressions in the United States. Rooted in values of inclusivity, creativity, and cultural preservation, the foundation encourages artistic projects that celebrate minorities’ heritage, regardless of ethnicity, religion, or gender orientation. Its mission is to produce high-quality cultural programs that engage the community, foster participation in the arts through educational and inclusive initiatives, and empower artists to share their traditions and creativity with broader audiences. By positioning itself as a leading platform for artistic creation and a repository of community traditions, the foundation ensures that the rich cultural legacy of Latin America thrives across generations.

The foundation’s values are reflected in its commitment to accessibility, diversity, and community engagement. Through events like “Cantos Navideños,” a traditional concert celebrating Latin American Christmas music, and programs such as the “Ethnography of Afro-Venezuelan Music,” it highlights the importance of preserving cultural traditions while fostering inclusivity. The organization also prioritizes accessibility by hosting events in venues compliant with ADA regulations, ensuring participation for individuals with disabilities. By empowering artists and creating spaces for intergenerational knowledge transfer, the foundation nurtures creativity while strengthening community bonds. These efforts underscore its dedication to celebrating diversity and ensuring that Latin American heritage remains a vibrant source of inspiration and unity for future generations.
