About Us – North America Cantonese Arts Foundation

基金会概述

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 governments. Our mission is to support artistic creation and performances, nurture artistic talent, and advance the development of Cantonese arts to sustain its healthy growth.

NACA is dedicated to facilitating cultural and artistic exchanges within North America and across the globe. By identifying and cultivating outstanding artistic talent, we strive to deepen global appreciation and understanding of Cantonese arts. Since its founding, NACA has hosted numerous charitable cultural and artistic performances in New York — featuring Cantonese opera, Cantonese pop music, and concerts. We are committed to showcasing the essence of Chinese arts, preserving traditional Chinese culture, and sharing the Chinese dream with the world.
