Founded in 1989 by three Lower East Side social activists, who still serve as board members, 5C Cultural Center (5CCC) was incorporated in 1996 as a not-for-profit. Its mission: to provide an innovative environment for education, activism and the performing arts. 501c3 status was approved in 2000. Offering wholesome food was realized in 2003. Over the past fourteen years, 5CCC has presented nearly 1600 performing arts events covering music, spoken word and drama/theatre. We have tutored over 300 low-income students in Mathematics, Music, Spanish and English. Some participants have gone on to graduate from Yale, Columbia, and Stanford Universities, while others are pursuing their creative passions to become performing artists. CURRENT PROGRAMS
