Alena Museum is a cultural sanctuary dedicated to celebrating and preserving the artistic expressions of the African Diaspora. Rooted in the traditions of resilience, creativity, and community, we provide a space for artists, visionaries, and changemakers to collaborate, showcase, and uplift narratives that shape our world. Through art, education, and advocacy, we foster a thriving ecosystem where Black culture is honored, protected, and propelled forward.

What We Do

We are more than a museum—we are a movement. Through exhibitions, artist residencies, educational workshops, and community events, we cultivate a space where heritage meets contemporary expression. Our flagship programs include:

  • Exhibitions & Installations – Showcasing dynamic, thought-provoking works that reflect the Black experience.

  • Artist & Cultural Residencies – Providing space, resources, and mentorship to emerging and established creatives.

  • Workshops & Education – Hosting public programs that explore art, history, and the intersections of social impact.

  • Community Engagement & Advocacy – Partnering with local and global organizations to champion cultural preservation and equity.

Through numerous creative collaborations and events, Alena Museum’s family has grown to include some serious talent.
