Crossroads Art Studios

Gitana Productions Inc, based in St. Louis, Missouri, is a mission-driven organization that has been dedicated to cross-cultural engagement and education through the arts for over 23 years. Led by founder and Executive Director Cecilia Nadal, Gitana Productions has reached tens of thousands of people from diverse backgrounds, cultures, religions, races, and socio-economic levels through their creative works and programs, including the highly acclaimed play "BLACK AND BLUE" and the hit performance "AN AMAZING STORY GERMAN ABOLITIONISTS OF MISSOURI." As they transition into a new phase, Gitana Productions will continue their work on a broader scale through publications, training, and fostering cross-cultural collaboratives on a regional and statewide basis across disciplines. With an incredible legacy of bringing diverse people together and educating the community about the possibilities of cross-cultural engagement, Gitana Productions has been a trailblazer as the first African American-led arts program to bring the China National Orchestra to the USA. Although the organization will be closing its doors on September 30, 2019, after 23 immensely productive years, Cecilia Nadal will continue her work through Cross-Cultural Strategies Inc., a training and consultant firm that aims to share their knowledge and connections with organizations seeking to benefit from their expertise. Gitana Productions leaves behind a lasting impact and a call to action for individuals and communities to be the change needed in America through cross-cultural engagement.Generated from the website
