Profile
Now in its 19th year, the annual Zora Neale Hurston Festival of the Arts and Humanities (ZORA! Festival) is a multi-day, multi-disciplinary event.

Goals

To celebrate the life and work of 20th century writer, folklorist and anthropologist, Zora Neale Hurston;
To celebrate the significance of her hometown, Eatonville, Florida, known as the nation's oldest incorporated African American municipality, and
to celebrate the cultural contributions people of African ancestry have made to the United States and world culture.


Established in 1990, The Hurston is a program of the Association to Preserve the Eatonville Community, Inc. (P.E.C.). Its mission is to provide a place “in the heart of the community” where the public can view the work of artists of African Descent, who live on the Continent and/or in the Diaspora. 

MISSION STATEMENT: The Association to Preserve the Eatonville Community Inc. (P.E.C.) is a non-profit/tax-exempt historic preservation organization whose mission it is to enhance the resources of Eatonville, Florida, which is "the oldest incorporated African American municipality in the United States" and the hometown of writer, folklorist, and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston; to educate the public about Eatonville's historic and cultural significance; and to use the community's heritage and cultural vibrancy for its economic development.
