The B.R.A.C.E. Project ©

Minority Help has been engaged in the implementation of the Brazilian Arts and Cultural Engagement Project (B.R.A.C.E.), which aims to unite the underserved Brazilian-American community to enhance cultural awareness and diversity, strengthen local Brazilian cultural vitality, and promote the cultural development of ethnically specific activities that establish community identity. The project emphasizes the importance of maintaining the arts, folklore, and other expressions of Brazilian popular culture while increasing local youth's exposure to and involvement in Brazilian culture through a series of cultural events.

The comprehensive programs of B.R.A.C.E. create opportunities, promote community engagement, and enhance the cultural development of ethnic activities that strengthen identity and preserve the artistic and cultural traditions of the local Brazilian-American community.

The Brazilian Arts and Cultural Engagement (B.R.A.C.E.)

Minority Help’s Brazilian Arts and Cultural Engagement (The B.R.A.C.E.) Project has been designed to promote the Brazilian heritage while increasing cultural awareness and diversity.

B.R.A.C.E. sponsors year-round, art-based programs and culturally unique activities to empower Brazilian cultural vitality. The project promotes language and cultural workshops, weekly cultural heritage exhibitions featuring drama, poetry, storytelling, joke-telling, popular music concerts, arts and crafts labs, snapshots of community life, art demonstrations, typical food contests, parades, folk festivals, competitions, public interviews, traditional dance performances, theatrical exhibitions, artistic performances, and other cultural activities and celebrations.

Minority Help has sponsored several community cultural festivals, including the Annual Youth Festival and Expo from 2006 to 2009, the Brazilian Folks festivals in 2017 and 2018, and the Brazilian Folks Tour, a smaller version of the Brazilian Folks festival, along with many other cultural celebrations. Minority Help is seeking to sponsor community events in major Brazilian communities across the U.S., including Marietta, GA; Philadelphia, PA; Boston, MA; Newark, NJ; and San Diego, CA. We welcome requests for proposals. If you are a community leader interested in promoting Brazilian art and culture in your community, please submit your request for a proposal. Be sure to include the type of event, a list of activities, the expected audience, your role, and your expectations.
