Why Our Work Matters
Alexandria is rich with talent and heritage — but many schools and neighborhoods lack the resources needed to nurture creativity. Young people often go without art programs, local artists struggle to find support, and communities lose opportunities to engage in cultural expression.
Resonance fills these gaps by providing:
Free or low-cost youth workshops
School art program support
Artist development opportunities
Community cultural events
Storytelling and self-reflection spaces
Public art and exhibition initiatives
Every program we offer is designed to strengthen identity, inspire confidence, and build a more vibrant community for everyone.
Cultural Community Events & Exhibitions
Public art shows, pop-up exhibitions, creative festivals, and collaborations designed to celebrate Alexandria’s cultural diversity.
This includes our upcoming art show whose proceeds will support school art programs in the city.
Youth Arts Workshops
Hands-on art classes focused on drawing, painting, digital art, mixed media, music, and cultural storytelling.
Workshops are offered free or affordable to ensure no child is left out.
Creative Education & Storytelling
Programs centered on local Black, Creole, Indigenous, and other cultural histories.
Stories are used as tools for healing, self-reflection, empowerment, and community pride.
Artist Support & Professional Development
Emerging artist mentorship, portfolio-building assistance, and opportunities to showcase work.
We aim to elevate local talent while creating pathways for creative entrepreneurship.
Why Alexandria Needs This
Local schools face limited arts funding.
Many young people lack access to creative resources, mentorship, and safe imaginative spaces.
Cultural programming is often concentrated in specific areas, leaving gaps in underserved communities.
Local artists need more support, visibility, and professional development opportunities.
Resonance is stepping in to help fill these gaps through sustainable solutions and community-rooted programming..
