Ashé Cultural Arts Center is a most warm and welcoming venue. The Center hosts concerts, theatre, community meetings, weddings, graduations and more. There's a free dance class on Monday and Thursday evenings. Check out the website for events. Many of the events are free.

Such a hidden gem! Everyone is so nice & welcoming. A true testament to the vision and heart of the Executive Director and those who she leads. I can't remember all the names of all the wonderful people I met who work there and genuinely exude the spirit of the organization's vision + mission. I truly didn't want to leave.... Will be a go-to stop for culture of the African Diaspora including NOLA & shopping, EVERY time I'm in town.

Ashe' is a mecca of the culture of the Diaspora. The warmth and friendliness of the staff invite you to come home. You may enter as a guest but you leave as Family.

Beautiful Place. Fabulous Staff

Beautifully revitalized space! This glass front building definitely brings life back to Oretha Castle Haley Blvd. This space also has beautifully rennovated apartments on top which is a plus as the apartments help to utilize the entire building. There use to be a lot of buildings with nice space at the bottom but the top portion would be in deplorable condition. Not anymore! This space definitely gives back, pays hommage and touches the community.

Love this place. Love the area it's located in. Such a revitalization of a community that was once the Mecca of the lives of the New Orleans Black Community. Ashé fits right in and gives live to the area again.

Lots of events are held here and it's a blessing to the founder Carol Bebelle (love the name & she's such a sweet soul) and the community at large.

Looking forward to seeing what the future holds for this beautiful center.

Been coming here since I was a toddler and watching it grow is unbelievable

This place is phenomenal! I'm glad that we were invited to attend a spoken word event. The vibe was very positive. The display was intriguing. The people were phenomenal. I even graced the stage and shared one of my pieces for the first time ever. It's a great experience. I was too involved in the atmosphere to even take a lot of pictures. If I find the one that I took, I'll edit this review and post it.

A wonderful place and it keeps getting better. I have been here for many events, free and paid, and have not been disappointed! Dance, movie, art, talks,plays and more.

This is a cultural megacenter for the people of New Orleans. Arts, literature, creativity, education is in high supply at this Mecca of culture and influence. Social understanding of a culture not far from ours comes easy and in great quantity.

A welcoming site to see with kids of all ages and adults of all ages contributing to the musical arts during the summer. When most kids want to swim or play video games. I recommend this place for your kids productive summer activities and so much more. I've heard they even have food on occasion. A needed place. Thank you to everyone helping to keep these doors open. I see it and many other people see the impact and change to the mental and sikey of the people in the community, aboard, and people who are just tourist.

A great location for art exhibits, shows and film screenings. Nearby restaurants and other venues. Highly recommend.

Art, clothes, jewelry, performances, books, community programs, cultural events and friendly staff - I've been loving this place for years!

Super friendly people there and it's a great place nestled right in my neighborhood! Central city. Not sure how often they change out the exhibits, but we really enjoyed what we saw.

Worth mentioning that there is a luxurious breast feeding areas for Mothers who may need this. I felt like this was a very classy touch!

Cool place. Home to a lot of pan-African events. Most cities have a place like this that serves as a cultural center, which is important.
