Levantine Cultural Center helps build a sense of
community, of communitas, in Southern California, among a
large and diverse population. We present cultural arts programs
where conversation and debate often lead to new friendships, and
a greater understanding of the Middle East and North Africa (from
Morocco in the west to Afghanistan in the east).
Like-minded nonprofit organizations and local businesses help cosponsor
or underwrite the not-for-profit programs we present. Please support
them with your membership or patronage. To inquire about becoming
a community sponsor, email the Center.
With an average of 250,000 visitors a month to this web site, and
nearly 6,000 subscribers, Levantine Cultural Center has a strong
connection to diverse Middle Eastern communities in Southern California.
Sponsors benefit from positive exposure in the community and receive
a tax deduction on their contributions.
