    In 2002, the Board of Directors adopted a business plan prepared for the Cultural Arts Council of Houston and Harris County (CACHH) that targeted Talento Bilingüe de Houston as the appropriate agency in the City of Houston to develop itself further as a Latino Cultural Arts Center. It's original mission statement and purpose to perpetuate cultural enrichment in the Latino community through education programs involving classes and workshops, and through the presentation of bilingual (Spanish/English) theatrical programs for the public is expanding to include the needs of a diverse and growing Latino population that live in Houston and to those who visit our city. In addition, Talento Bilingüe de Houston is evolving as a venue for other multicultural performing arts groups.
