World Arts West

Founded in 1978, World Arts West is a nationally-recognized leader in advocating for cultural arts communities. Serving the largest multicultural dance and music network in the United States, we are a wraparound cultural artist service provider based in San Francisco, serving as a hub for comprehensive capacity-building artist services. World Arts West pioneered the first city-sponsored multicultural dance festival in the USA. Now in our 45th year, we continue this legacy of presenting a vital platform for cultural artists to build recognition, visibility and intersectional solidarity.
