San Jose Multicultural Artists Guild (SJMAG)

The San Jose Multicultural Artists Guild is an umbrella arts organization, formed to promote and enhance cultural experience and diversity, produce and showcase multcultural actors, playwrights, musicians and dancers, and provide mediums for ethnic awareness through dramatic arts in San Jose and surrounding communities.

The guild is comprised of local multi-ethnic talents focused on the common goal of delivering professional artistic productions dedicated to public awareness of ethnic arts. Over the past five years SJMAG has given performances for colleges, secondary schools, and community and cultural functions.

The guild currently represents three performing groups. Tabia African American Theatre Ensemble, Maiko Women's Drum and Poetry Ensemble, and Teatro Familia Aztlan. Tabia, a Swahili word meaning "talented", has earned a reputation for presenting high quality productions that celebrate and explore the African-American experience, ranging from family drama to clever comedies. Maiko, a Japanese term meaning "dancing girls," uniquely blends percussive rhythms with colorful poetry and choreography to promote cultural expression through performance. Their powerful performances are the creative explosion of the merger of Afro-Cuban and Latin rhythmic beats. Teatro Familia Aztlan develops and performs new productions based on the artistic history of ancient and contemporary Chicano/Mexicano and Latino culture. Steeped in the popular roots of commitment and struggle, Teatro Familia Aztlan communicates its message through the universality of theater art, making itself an instrument for the aspirations of its audiences. San Jose Multicultural Artists Guild is a Resident Partner at Mexican Heritage Plaza.
