Announcing Our New Program:
Friends of Alternate ROOTS

Our Friends program is for everyone who believes in the power of artists working for social change and for social justice. It's for folks just like you - maybe you are not an artist, or you are, or you just have not been able to be involved directly but love what this work stands for. You're probably looking for a way to show your support because you know how important this effort is, especially in the South. If that's the case, we need friends like you.

Alternate ROOTS' Mission: Alternate ROOTS is an organization based in the Southern USA whose mission is to support the creation and presentation of original art in all its forms, which is rooted in a particular community of place, tradition or spirit. As a coalition of cultural workers we strive to be allies in the elimination of all forms of oppression. ROOTS is committed to social and economic justice and the protection of the natural world and addresses these concerns through its programs and services.



Alternate ROOTS is a proud resident of the Little 5 Points Community Center.
