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.

She moved to Indiana and began to assist the Latino community over 15 years ago, when she became a domestic violence volunteer at the prosecutor's office, while raising her twin daughters and her son. In 2011, Maria was awarded the United States Attorney's Carol S. Morris Award for Outstanding Contributions to the Rights of Victims for her work with and commitment to the Latino community in Indiana.
