Chinese Culture Center, under the aegis of the Chinese Culture Foundation, is dedicated to elevating underserved communities and giving voice to equality through education and contemporary arts programming. We elevate Chinatown and other underserved communities by empowering youth and residents.
Founded in 1965 and rooted in Chinatown, the Chinese Culture Center (or CCC) believes in a comprehensive community-building strategy that combines arts and education to create strong neighborhoods. Furthermore, we see Chinatown as a model of creativity and resilience for all underserved communities.
We are a community-focused arts nonprofit. Our work is based in Chinatown and San Francisco's open and public spaces, and other art institutions. CCC’s activities include public art, contemporary exhibitions, and education programming. Over 150,000 members of the community engage with CCC annually. CCC is a proud partner of #StartSmall, the prestigious Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, San Francisco Foundation, Wells Fargo Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
