SI CABE: Southern Illinois Culture and Arts in Bilingual Education - We All Fit Here!
Meet Our Board
- Executive Director
About Us
SI CABE was started as a labor of love by two mothers in 2010 who saw a need for authentic bilingual cultural experiences in the Southern Illinois area. From inception our organization has worked to build the capacity of bilingual artists, activists, educators and community members, by offering authentic cultural experiences in a range of art forms.
Looking Forward
In the spirit of our original vision, we are always looking for cultural experiences to bring to Southern Illinois. We have more events on the horizon!
