Partnership. Innovation. Celebratory Experience & Education.

From areas bursting with the history of its Latino residents, to communities that have produced vibrant culinary influences and iconic celebrations of culture, The Carolina's dynamic Latino community is made up of people from nearly every Spanish-speaking country around the globe.

Together, we created our vision for social progress by building bridges between cultures, embracing diversity and creating more economically vibrant communities.

We recognize the power of the arts to challenge and shift perceptions, spark creativity and connect people across cultures.
We see how festivals that celebrate cultural awareness are making a lasting and direct impact in Asheville, Hendersonville and throughout western North Carolina. We’d like to share the big picture and the details of those facts with you. Come learn how the arts are transforming our communities, and our fellow citizens, for the better.
