Alissa moves fluidly between visual art and music, collaborating with
musicians on album art, posters, vinyl packaging, videos, titles, and
merch. She’s also produced exhibitions, hosted radio shows, and worked
on record releases, supporting both local artists and larger projects.
Over the past decade, Alissa has worked with music festivals, non-profit
galleries, theatre companies, radio stations, and independent artists.
She’s passionate about keeping art spaces sustainable and accessible.
Her current work explores how music venues and nightlife environments
can shape collective experience and foster solidarity, especially within
local, DIY-driven communities.
