Mission
Art and Vine Creative Consulting aims to equip creatives and community builders with the tools, connections, information, and perspectives that will help them enhance and share their work with the world.
EXPERIENCE
Admin
With over a decade of leadership in arts and education nonprofits, I bring a strong background in building, funding, and sustaining impactful programs. I’ve served as a Program Manager, Artistic Director, and DEIA Consultant, overseeing everything from strategic planning and grant writing to team leadership and curriculum development. My experience across institutions like AfterWork Theatre, Azuka Theatre, and Weston Playhouse has equipped me to manage complex projects with clarity, care, and cultural consciousness.
Creative
As a multi-hyphenate creative: director, playwright, actor, and dramaturg—I’ve led over 30 stage productions and developed new works that center underrepresented voices. My artistry spans regional theater, educational spaces, and digital media, and I’m pursuing an MFA in Directing at Northwestern University. Whether devising original plays or shaping bold revivals, I help artists and organizations tell resonant stories with vision, rigor, and heart.
Community
I’m the founder of Art and Vine Entertainment, a creative collective rooted in collectivism, belonging, and Black artistic liberation. Beyond the stage, I’ve organized community arts events, built educational programs from the ground up, and mentored emerging artists and students. My work bridges art and activism, fostering spaces that heal, empower, and transform—because I believe storytelling is a tool for liberation.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Gabriele, producer
“Working with Reva was a fantastic experience. She helped me refine my communications strategy with such insight and clarity that my goals were met almost immediately. What stood out most was her deep understanding of my stakeholders' priorities—she really got what I needed to communicate and how to position it for the most successful approach. Her positive attitude made the process not only effective but genuinely enjoyable. Thanks to Reva, I was able to build strong new relationships with key partners. I’d wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to elevate their development process.”

aidan, actor
“I have been contemplating shifting away from a full-time 9-to-5 corporate job to commit more of my time and energy to a career in acting. I came to Reva anxious and unsure of the steps I could take to move forward with this aspiration. After a fruitful conversation, I left with an action plan and a strong sense of autonomy in achieving my career goals. Reva has been an invaluable resource in my journey.”
