As one of only three National Performance Network member organizations in Houston, the annual “MECA Presents” performance season convenes community through the arts and encourages dialogue about issues ranging from social justice and equity to diversity and community transformation.

From incubating works in progress to presenting local and touring work, MECA seeks to collaborate with innovative and socially engaged artists whose work expands the boundaries of tradition and practice. MECA is especially interested in projects that bring to light the experiences of life on the margins of societies, economies, and cultures.

INSIDER TIP

MECA’s largest performance event of the year is its annual Dia de los Muertos festival in November, which presents two jam-packed days of performances across multiple stages to audiences of more than 10,000 visitors. With its 20th anniversary happening this year, you’ll want to visit MECA’s art-filled campus located at the nationally recognized historic Dow School in the heart of Houston’s Old Sixth Ward to celebrate.
