Rona Collective is a movement of collaboration.
We are consultants, designers, and producers united by one goal: to turn raw inspiration into living experiences. We work where culture, community, and commerce meet — supporting museums, music venues, and cultural spaces to create moments that last. Our focus is on exploring the intersection between tradition and modernity, building bridges between heritage and what’s next.
​
We thrive across disciplines:
​
Museums & Cultural Institutions: We shape exhibitions and storytelling that feel alive. Audiences don’t just look — they connect.
Music Venues & Event Spaces: From stage to floorplan, we design unforgettable moments. We reimagine engagement, develop new revenue, and turn spaces into destinations.
Strategy & Growth: Every vision needs a backbone. We support organizations with clarity, partnerships, and long-term sustainability.
About Ron
Rona Collective was founded by Ron Rona, former Artistic Director of New Orleans’ legendary Preservation Hall. There, he expanded the Hall’s reach through private events, merchandising, and collaborations with globally recognized artists and brands.
​
At the center is Ron’s dream — a dream he’s carried for more than 20 years: to create beautiful things with friends. What began as dreaming and working alongside people he trusts has become a philosophy.
Collaboration isn’t just how we work. It is the art.
We believe culture doesn’t sit still. It moves. It evolves. It passes between generations. That’s why we stand with our clients — honoring heritage, pushing forward, and creating experiences that move the soul and energize communities.
