Home » About Us

The Government of Spain —through the Embassy of Spain's Cultural Office in Washington, D.C. and its network of General Consulates and Cervantes Institutes in key cities— promotes Spanish culture and art in the United States and strives to strengthen bilateral cultural, artistic and academic exchanges. Spanish-American cultural cooperation aims to create multiple links between the creative sectors of both countries and promote modern Spain's fertile spectrum of contemporary artistic expression.

This cultural network also presents a multitude of artistic programs —featuring dance, music, the visual arts, literature, the humanities, architecture, design, etc.— in a variety of venues, and in collaboration with relevant American entities throughout the country.

The Cultural Office also supports the cultural outreach in the US of Spain's 17 regional governments, as well as that of other public and private Spanish entities (cultural NGOs, foundations, etc.), to ensure that America's experience of its culture, arts and heritage is as rich, vibrant and diverse as modern Spain itself.

All cultural and artistic activities that the Spanish government promotes and supports in the US, with special attention to Americas Hispanic Community, strive to emphasize plurality expression and opinion, in line with Spain's own diversity in language, creativity in the arts and unique cultural heritage.
