From the start, Sonnier and Thomas understood that addressing the needs of artists would require more than guesswork; it would take intention. “Rather than creating events in isolation, we actively seek input from our community to ensure our programming reflects what people truly want, rather than assuming what they need,” Sonnier said. That collaborative spirit is grounded in three guiding principles: connection, visibility, and compensation. In practice, that mission takes shape through thoughtfully designed community gatherings, professional showcases, and stipends that place value on artists' time and work. - Shanna Dickens

I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Country Roads and Shanna Dickens for the lovely article featured today in Country Roads Magazine! It was an absolute honor for ARCHIVES to be featured in our very first magazine article — and on the cover, no less. Working with Shanna was incredible, she took the time to understand the heart of what we’re building and articulated our vision with clarity and care.
