Dear Festival Friends,

For every day of the past two months, we have been analyzing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, in consultation with public health experts, civic and county officials, and many others.

In recent days, the collective data began to coalesce, and we have reached the conclusion, together with our board, staff leadership and festival committee, that we must cancel the Hola Asheville Celebration scheduled for June 20th at Pack Square Park.

We are heart-broken. We take this action in solidarity with our community, as we commit first and foremost to keeping each other safe at this historic moment.

This extraordinary time brings loss and profound change, but also carries important lessons. It asks us to reaffirm our deepest values, and understand it is in connection and in community we are most alive. We will emerge together, stronger, deeper, and more grateful, on the other side. I am already looking forward to the 2021 Hola Asheville Celebration.

Sincerely,

Adriana Chavela
Executive Director
Hola Community Arts

CONNECT
​CULTURES

Hola Community Arts believes that every culture has a history and tradition to honor. This common thread allows us to communicate across cultures in a universal language and understand one another in a different way.

By bringing diverse groups of people together, Hola Community Arts nurtures shared learning and understanding – of both the value of individuals and the power of community.

Hola Community Arts bridges cultural communication between government, business and historically underrepresented and underserved communities building strategic partnerships to support greater engagement of these communities in policy, leadership, and initiatives.

This beautiful kaleidoscope of cultures and customs makes our region a truly vibrant diverse community.

UNITE
PEOPLE

Arts and culture provide foundational contributions to our communities’ well-being. Through collaboration and community conversation, we help create communities capable of positive, diverse and equitable public dialogue and action. Hola Community Arts is committed to the economic and cultural development of western North Carolina.

POSITIVE
CHANGE

Hola Community Arts recognizes the power of the arts to challenge and shift perceptions, spark creativity and connect people across cultures.

​A world without art would be a world without a voice. By supporting local arts and culture, we animate our region with creativity, empathy and create a stronger sense of place.
