We’re thrilled to share this glimpse into our Little Stompers concerts bringing the joy of music and its rich history to students across the New Orleans school system. Watching these young faces light up as they experience the magic of live music is what it’s all about! A huge thank you to the Ella Fitzgerald Foundation and the 610 Stompers for their generous support in making this possible. Your partnership allows us to inspire the next generation through the power of music. Check out the video and see how we’re keeping the rhythm alive! ?????? #LittleStompers #SLAC #MusicEducation #NewOrleans #InspiringTheNextGeneration #secondlineartscollective https://lnkd.in/eiQmedri

We’re fiercely organizing our first annual brunch fundraiser for SLAC, and it’s coming together beautifully! With the final details falling into place for this Sunday, we couldn’t be more thrilled about how things are shaping up. The best part? The event is officially sold out! This journey has been so much fun, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone who’s joining us to celebrate, connect, and support our mission. Stay tuned for updates—we’re making this a day to remember! Feel free to adjust for your tone or add any specific details!

The advice I give to my music students? Music, like everything in life, takes time. It’s a journey that doesn’t offer shortcuts. Trust the process of learning, embrace the ups and downs, and above all, find joy in the challenge. With that mindset, happiness will always be within reach. #TrustTheProcess #MusicJourney #GrowthMindset #HappyLearning

The SLAC team has achieved something extraordinary! ?? In 2023, we set our sights on an ambitious goal: increasing our revenue/budget to $250,000 for 2024. Thanks to our team’s relentless dedication, we didn’t just meet that target — we crushed it! To put things into perspective: ? 2023 Budget: $150,000 ? 2024 Goal: $250,000 — and we hit it! ? Starting from a $3,000 budget in 2016, we’ve come a long way. From modest beginnings to unstoppable momentum, this team’s growth and drive are inspiring. Here’s to continuing the journey and empowering even more young artists in 2025 and beyond! ?? #SecondLineArts #SLAC #Teamwork #Growth #ArtsEducation

Leading and growing an organization is all about team building, trust, clear communication, and respect. Being a leader means listening and learning from those around you. I’m grateful to have a team that teaches me every day—and inspires me to keep learning alongside them. What qualities do you think make a strong leader? #Leadership #TeamBuilding #GrowthMindset

Since 2016, Second Line Arts Collective (SLAC) has served hundreds of young creatives, helping shape futures that are as diverse as the students themselves. Some have become renowned musicians, others are making waves in nonprofits, biotech, law, and even fishing. Our mission isn’t just to create musicians; it’s to inspire each student to find their unique path. Where they go with it is the magic.
