Our primary goal is to interrupt that social and cultural view, and to promote social and cultural equity. Thriving since 1998, Ashé is a gathering place for emerging and established artists to present, create and collaborate in giving life to their art. The center, a multi-faceted institution, contains two event halls and often houses concerts, banquets, seminars, theater, a year-round youth program and more.
