Hola Cultura wraps up a successful 2023!

By hola | Published December 27, 2023

Since Hola Cultura began as an arts project in 2011, it’s been a surprising and beautiful journey with important milestones. We’ve published more than a thousand articles about local Latino arts and culture, and our podcasts have gained critical acclaim and wider audiences.

This work has helped to earn Hola Cultura respect and recognition as a credible and trusted source of local news. Winning a regional Edward R. Murrow award this year for a 1-hour radio documentary we made in partnership with WAMU has been another turning point for our organization that has seen many challenges and come out stronger time and again.

Mentorship and experiential learning are at Hola Cultura’s core. We’re proud to provide professional editing services to our interns and fellows and Spanish-language volunteer writers, as well as opportunities to publish their best work. Our Storytelling Program for Experiential Learning (SPEL) also assists our youngest participants in preparing for the professional world. It’s a powerful model that we’ve proven effective in producing high quality and engaging arts journalism, and now investigative reporting.
