The Institute of World Culture over its 40 year history has offered stimulating programs to challenge the mind and expand the heart. Seminars, forums, films and live performances have been guided by the ten aims of its Declaration of Interdependence.
The Institute is self-sustaining and supported by members. It is not funded by outside foundations and has no paid staff. Your support will allow the Institute to continue to bring you the wonderful programs you expect, as well as allow IWC to maintain its facilities and online access. The main house at 1407 Chapala Street is a designated City Landmark Building, built in 1872 by Peter J. Barber.
