Spring Forward - A Celebration of Resiliency

Meso Creso -- a DC-based, cross-cultural arts collective -- is known for bringing a unique blend of global beats, treats and arts to create engaging, immersive experiences. On May 20, we are very excited to partner with amazing organizations that serve our immigrant and refugee communities to host our annual Spring event -- outside, under the sun, and with you!  

But our communities are facing an incredible struggle. While we have always overcome the challenges we’ve faced, the political forces in our own city--mere miles from our homes--are aligning against our communities, families, and friends like never before.  In times like these, we connect, create music, build art, share skills, educate our peers, take action, and dance. We always dance.

But we want to do more- local grassroots community organizations are working double time to support vulnerable communities while facing slashed budgets and political uncertainty. Unrestricted cash donations can help relieve some of the pressure so let's mobilize our collective power to raise funds in support of these critical community based organizations.  Join us and make a donation today.
