WeFlamenco Fest is a cultural platform for San Antonio and Texas, built around flamenco.
Founded in San Antonio in 2010, WeFlamenco Fest began as an annual festival bringing artists, musicians, teachers, and audiences together. Today, it has grown into something larger: a place to present flamenco, cover what is happening now, and preserve its history.
The Festival
Every November, WeFlamenco Fest becomes a month-long citywide celebration of flamenco, bringing together artists, studios, companies, venues, and organizations from San Antonio and across Texas.
We produce our own performances, workshops, concerts, and other programs while also highlighting and promoting flamenco events happening throughout the community. Cultural institutions, arts organizations, and community partners are invited to participate in whatever way makes sense for them—by presenting an event, collaborating on programming, sharing resources, or simply being part of the festival.
The goal is to create a broader, more connected picture of flamenco in Texas while supporting the people and organizations that make the community possible.
Flamenco 411
Flamenco 411 is our news and editorial platform. We cover what is happening in flamenco now—from artists and performances to exhibitions, organizations, ideas, and the people shaping the flamenco community in Texas.
Through news, interviews, features, photography, and criticism, Flamenco 411 documents the flamenco scene as it happens.
The Archive
The Archive looks at where we came from.
San Antonio has a long and largely undocumented history of flamenco. The Archive brings together photographs, programs, interviews, oral histories, articles, and other materials to preserve the people and stories that built that history.
Our Mission
Our mission is to celebrate flamenco as a multicultural art form, explore the histories, migrations, and communities that shaped it, and preserve and document San Antonio’s flamenco history.
We look beyond the familiar story of flamenco to understand its many cultural roots—and to find the connections and commonalities that link people and cultures.
Through the festival, Flamenco 411, and the Archive, we document the past and present of flamenco in San Antonio and Texas while creating opportunities for artists and communities to connect through art, history, and shared experience.
Global Inspiration
Paula Sullivan is a cultural curator and entrepreneur based in San Antonio who uses food, music, and dance to foster human connection. As the visionary behind WeFlamenco Fest, she has transformed an annual celebration into a collaborative, citywide initiative.
Her work is centered on the idea that flamenco can be a gateway to shared emotion, resilience, and survival. When she isn’t producing arts events, Paula curates culinary and stage experiences at Carmens de la Calle.
“When language seems a barrier, we do have the ability to move past discomfort and uncover the journey we all share.”
