Miami-based non-profit Community Arts and Culture (CAC) has long been a champion of the arts in South Florida.
From hosting the award-winning Afro Roots Fest for more than two decades, to bringing Roots in (to) the Schools, and curating the Day at the Beachconcert series, CAC has fed the public’s appetite for African culture and expression since its inception. Now, supporters have an opportunity to “Join the CAC Tribe” and unlock special membership privileges.
“Our multicultural programming is usually made possible by the generous support from municipal organizations like the Miami-Dade County’s Department of Cultural Affairs, the Miami Beach Cultural Arts Council, and the Monroe County Tourist Development Council,” said Jose Elias, executive and artistic director. “Now we are offering individuals the opportunity to make a tax-deductible donation that will not only help fund our events, but will grant them some exciting membership benefits.”
For starters, any “Give 33 to Join CAC” action earns the donor a tax-credit and the choice between a limited-edition Afro Roots T-shirt or tubular buff, which both sell for $19.99. One also can become a member by texting JoinCAC to 44321. Founding members levels will have exclusive access to additional benefits in the works, once conditions allow.
“Our world music fans are the inspiration and essentially the co-creators of our events. Their continued contributions and support allows us to bring exceptional world music to South Florida, and we look forward to making these rewards available to them,” Elias said.
“We are honored to welcome them to the CAC Tribe.”
This year’s series of events kicks off with a Road to Afro Roots concert in Jupiter at Guanabanas Island Restaurant & Bar on Apr. 17, with an afternoon of live music featuring Cortadito, Venezonix, and FABI World Music. Tour stops also will include Key West, Apr. 21-23; Miami Beach, May 1; Miami, May 2; Doral, May 15, and Islamorada, Memorial Day Weekend.
