Foundation Overview

The North America Cantonese Arts Promotion Foundation (NACA) was established in 2022 as a 501-C non-profit charity approved by the New York City and federal government. Our mission is to promote artistic creation and performance, cultivate artistic talents, and promote the development of Cantonese arts to ensure its healthy progression.

NACA is dedicated to fostering cultural and artistic exchanges both in North America and internationally. By discovering and nurturing exceptional artistic talents, we aim to enhance the appreciation and understanding of Cantonese arts worldwide. Over the years, NACA has organized numerous charity cultural and artistic performances in New York, including Cantonese opera, pop music, and concerts, committed to promoting the essence of Chinese art, inheriting Chinese traditional culture, and spreading the Chinese dream globally.
