La Peña Cultural Center, Cultural center in Berkeley, United States
The Latin American cultural center occupies a building on Shattuck Avenue in the Ashby neighborhood of South Berkeley, offering arts programs and community gatherings.
Founded in 1975 by Chilean expatriates and American allies, the center emerged as a response to the 1973 military takeover in Chile under Augusto Pinochet.
The center hosts music performances, dance classes, theatrical productions, art exhibitions, and educational programs centered on Latin American and Caribbean traditions.
The center maintains regular hours for its performances, classes, and events, with the Café Valparaíso serving Chilean and Latin American dishes throughout the week.
The center houses its own musical groups, including the La Peña Choir and Lab Hip Hop Ensemble, while organizing bilingual concerts for children.
