Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute


The Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute (CCCADI) is a nonprofit organization based in East Harlem in New York City that serves as an Afro-Caribbean center of culture and community for members of the African diaspora.

CCCADI was founded in 1976 by Dr. Marta Moreno Vega.

CCCADI is currently located in a decommissioned historic landmark fire house on 125th Street near Park Avenue in East Harlem in New York City, after the City decided to decommission five firehouses and turn them into cultural centers. The cost of the renovation was $9.3 million, and the project took six years to complete. The center opened in October 2016.

Previously, the Center was in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan on West 58th Street.

In addition to art exhibits, the center also schedules regular lectures and concerts related to the Caribbean and African cultures.

Recent exhibits include the following:
