Are you a Latinx creative? Do you know someone whose work deserves more attention?
Hola Cultura’s Storytelling Program for Experiential Learning (SPEL) interviews dozens of local artists each year. Interviews are conducted by SPEL Interns on the arts and humanities team. We are always looking for new stories featuring Latino artists, musicians, chefs, writers, poets and other creatives, the Latinx culture and experience in Washington, D.C.
To request or suggest an interview, please send us an email with a brief description, links to work samples and your contact information. If relevant, include any upcoming events or exhibitions in the Washington, D.C. area. Please send the email, with “Attention Arts and Humanities Team” in the subject line, to contact@holacultura.com.*
Have a local D.C. event you want to promote?
Every Thursday, we publish an event list on our social media and our website. This list spotlights local events that promote Latinx culture and art. If you have an upcoming Latinx-oriented event taking place in the Washington D.C. area or online that you’d like us to consider sharing, please email us at contact@holacultura.com.*
The deadline for event list submissions is two weeks before the event date. Due to the volume of emails we receive, we cannot guarantee to include every event or acknowledge every submission.
