Who We Are

A Cultural Home
Far From Home

Casa de España en Indiana is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded to preserve, share, and celebrate Spanish culture across Indiana. We are a bridge — between generations, between languages, between continents — built by and for those who carry Spain in their hearts, wherever they live.

What We Do

We bring the arts, traditions, and intellectual life of Spain to the Midwest through cultural events, educational programs, community gatherings, and support networks for Spanish-speaking families. From flamenco evenings to literary symposia, from language exchanges to festivals of tradition, our programs honor the full depth of Spanish heritage.
