San Antonio Carver Community

read moreThe mission of the Carver Community Cultural Center is to celebrate the diverse cultures of our world, nation and community, with emphasis on its African and African-American heritage, by providing premier artistic presentations, community outreach activities and educational programs. For over 75 years, The Carver Community Cultural Center ("The Carver") has served as the San Antonio Eastside's foremost gathering place of cultural exchange and performance arts. It was originally erected in 1918, as a community center for African-Americans.

We need your help in making these seats, and the entire Carver Community Cultural Center, available to our community forever. In recognition of your tax-deductible participation in the Carver Seat Campaign, a plaque with your name will be permanently and prominently displayed on one of the 650 seats of the Jo Long Theatre.
