We’re planting something new with Deep Roots—an artist residency built to grow creatives and community at the same time. Rooted Residency is about space, support, and real opportunities to create, connect, and activate.

Join us for the kickoff on April 24th (5–8 PM) at BoxSpot (8005 Kinsman Rd.) for a night of music, food, and art—and a first look at what we’re building.

Register now (link in bio) and pull up with your people.

We’re creating a residency that reflects what we believe: artists are workers, creativity is skilled labor, and neighborhoods deserve cultural infrastructure that’s built with them—not dropped on them.

Rooted Residency is here. Let’s grow together.
