MISSION

The Mexican Cultural Institute of Washington, D.C. is committed to enriching the relationship between Mexico and the United States by sharing Mexico’s vibrant cultural past and present with the local community. Since its establishment in 1990, the Institute has succeeded in presenting diverse, ongoing cultural programs and has become a thriving artistic center in the heart of Washington. Over the past three decades, the Institute has developed cultural programming in partnership with many institutions in the nation’s capital, including the Smithsonian Institution, the National Gallery of Art, and the Library of Congress.

A new phase at the Institute features the following focal points for development:

Mexico as a plural, diverse, and creative culture
Artistic dialogue between Mexico and the United States
Education for the arts

The Mexican Cultural Institute is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization that relies on private, corporate, and foundation support to fulfill its mission.

OUTREACH

We have extended invitations to students from around the Washington Metropolitan area through a restructured Outreach program. We welcome our younger audiences to the Institute to learn about the vibrancy of Mexican Culture and develop a deeper cultural awareness. Guided Tours are available, free of charge.
