the SLAPcollective Articulation: What’s been SLAPpening

the SLAPcollective is a collective-led arts and wellness organization that champions the development and wellbeing of communities.

Our strategies are designed to apply infrastructure to impact – providing resources and opportunities that support growth and equitable community advancement.

Founded by artists, strategists, cultural professionals, organizers and wellness practitioners, we’ve experienced the unique challenges that come with developing your practice, serving community, and obtaining career goals. Our offerings intentionally merge practices of artistry, wellbeing, and community structuring to drive a culture of collective impact.

As a collective, we incubate and activate the talents of our members to share in the flow of impact and execution. We prioritize experience-based learnings and find massive value in collaboration; everyone has something valuable to contribute. Ultimately, our collective serves as a bridge between creativity and connectedness, communities and actionable wellness – social, mental, organizational and otherwise.

We set the stage for community, expression and wellness to intersect and alchemize.

SLAP Impact math

As agents for impact, we center collective worth – guided by our core principles of self love, affirmation, and preservation (SLAP) – and culture-set through practices of artistry, wellbeing, and community structuring.

Our approach centers on integrative community building to implement wellness and impact strategies that create equitable space for growth and valuable expressions. A sustainable community is one that encourages and empowers each individual’s contributions. We champion authentic belonging and invite communities to impart their ideas and sharpen their input through active practice. 

By strengthening the mechanics of existing relationships, opportunities and resources you expand capacities for wellness and growth of self, your team, and your community.

We design and optimize for positive collective impact. 

Our mission as a platform for impact is to culture-set by integrating practices of artistry, wellbeing, and community structuring to activate equitable shared impact models.

Our vision is to be a leading arts and wellness organization that amplifies impact by harnessing the creativity and best practices of its community — cultivating a culture of worth that translates into professional, personal, and communal wellbeing.
