West African Cultural Arts Institute (Wacai)
The West African Cultural Arts Institute (WACAI) is a non-profit organization located in Eugene, Oregon, dedicated to sharing the vibrancy of Guinean culture through educational programs focused on music and dance. Founded in 2007 by Alseny Yansane and Andrea DiPalma Yansane, WACAI aims to connect communities through authentic artistic expression while giving back to West Africa.
WACAI offers a range of programs, including drum and dance classes, school residencies, performances, and community outreach events, all designed to engage and inspire diverse audiences. The organization is powered by a dedicated board of directors and volunteers, many of whom are past students who have experienced the transformative impact of WACAI's offerings.
