The MENA / WANA community in Western New York is growing and there is a need to create understanding and communication between communities through art and culture. The vision is to share the beauty of the different MENA /WANA  cultures with focus on art cultures and traditions only. The MENA / WANA community in Western New York doesn't have a cultural center with focus on art only, the center will gather the different MENA / WANA  communities in Western New York under the umbrella of art and culture. Arabesque in Western New York will be a non-partisan and secular organization with focus on art and culture.
