The Mantua Enterprise for Community, Culture, and Artistry (MECCA) is a home-grown engine of transformation. A mutually-beneficial partnership with residents for neighborhood activation, revitalization, and economic development. Rooted in the wisdom of Black dance traditions and the lived experience of Mantua residents, MECCA uses movement to move people toward connection, power, healing, and possibility.
We are a community development corporation that invigorates community culture and changes the conditions of our environment—with art as the scaffolding for all of our programming.
A natural progression of 20 years of program design and community investment via DANCE IQUAIL!, our new parent company is where Black art meets radical love, where our shared past, present, and future is expressed as neighborhood pride.
