“We’re proud to present talented, hard-working, resilient artists who demonstrate tremendous effort in pursuing their artistic visions and careers,” the African Women Acting organization says of the event — and mission-at-large.

African Women Acting  is a pan-African not-for-profit organization geared towards promoting women’s issues and empowering, mentoring, coaching, presenting, and promoting upcoming and mid-career women artists of African heritage. AWA also endeavors to increase the public understanding and appreciation of African traditional and contemporary arts through artistic production such as music, theatre, spoken word, digital media art, visual arts, movie screenings, the African Women Acting Festival, and more.

Marking its second year, the African Women Acting Niagara Falls Festival is proudly funded by the Niagara Falls - Cultural Development Fund.

The African Women Acting Niagara Falls Festival is a free event happening on Saturday, September 3rd and Sunday, September 4th from 2:00pm - 10:00 pm EST at the Oakes Garden Theatre.

We acknowledge the support of the Canadian Race Relations Foundation with funding provided by the Government of Canada.
