Overview:
ReSourceArts (RSA) is the culmination of years of collaboration, and a deep desire to broaden the available arts and cultural, and community engagement services available to diverse communities and neighborhoods in urban environments. At the core of everything ReSourceArts seeks to accomplish is a commitment to providing highquality art and creative endeavors, all with a conscious undertone. We want to make the world a better place. We believe the best way to begin is through creative expression. We accomplish this by designing innovative performance spaces for artists to create, to collaborate, to inspire and to present their work, as well as to provoke dialogues with likeminded organizations about the issues most pressing to their surrounding community.
Calling all fine artists!

Overview:
ReSourceArts (RSA) is the culmination of years of collaboration, and a deep desire to broaden the arts, cultural, and community engagement services available to diverse communities and neighborhoods in urban environments. The instigators of ReSourceArts, Emily Arden Eakland and Aysha Upchurch, have been working diligently to learn, create, explore, and share their collective creative inspirations to serve a multitude of audiences in a variety of settings over the past decade. The founders believe it’s time to bring all of their experiences together. And so, ReSourceArts was born. We seek to provide a place for artists, communities, and creative souls to collide.

The Event:
50+ artists of varying genres – from dancers to musicians, from muralists to chefs – will be participating in a week-long arts and community event, making it one of the most unique collaborations to be taking place this summer. For one week, July 29 – August 5, 2012, RSA will be transforming Crane Arts Old School: The White Space into a center for emerging and established artists of all forms to share their crafts with the community.
Each day of the event offers unique programming that showcases these artists at their finest – from creating a four-course Korean-fusion meal to offering mini workshops in genres from Capoira to Zumba, from an open mic night where the audience helps to craft the poem to a bboy/bgirl battle and dance party – this event offers something for everyone. And while each day is intentionally unique, the one thing they each have in common is that they all promise to offer fun, festivities, and freedom… of expression! Tickets are reasonably priced (from free – $60) and all ticket sales help to support the fantastic artists performing/showcasing in RSA events.
