About Us
WHO WE ARE:
EvoluCulture Ventures (Short name: EvoluCulture, Evlou, or ECV)
is an integrated media and performing arts organization
based in Newark, NJ.
MISSION:
EvoluCulture aims to inspire and hold space
for artists and art lovers who need it. Spaces for expression
(live and virtual) include open mics, showcases,
art exhibitions, mental health check-in sessions
and more. The mission is reflected in content we present
on platforms such as YouTube, as well as our apparel line.
VISION:
The name comes in part from a quote by WWE Superstar, Triple H:
"In life, you either adapt, or your perish; that is evolution."
First known as EVOLVE NJ, with the premise to promote growth
within the state of New Jersey through the arts, the years that followed
would see a name change to reflect a broader premise: to promote
growth and change of cultural norms through the arts, in and out of Jersey.
We see Evolution not as a straight and narrow path to the top,
We see Evolution not as a straight and narrow path to the top,
but a cycle summed up in four words: Learn/ Unlearn/ Relearn/ Repeat.
Therefore, evolution is more of a journey than a destination:
a constant revisiting of what’s been gained so far, and how it fits into--
or breaks, out of necessity--the current norm.
We are a Black-owned, founded, and operated organization.
Therefore while all are welcome to share in our spaces,
EvoluCulture prioritizes and affirms voices of marginalized groups,
particularly those within the Black Diaspora and all its intersections.
