Community Roots Art Festival
Celebrating creatives of color in Colorado
Our mission
We support emerging and established Colorado-based creatives of color by providing opportunities that break down economic and social barriers, contributing to an environment where they can thrive.
Our vision & values
We envision a world where Colorado’s arts community is a diverse, equitable, and inclusive industry—one that prioritizes, celebrates, and uplifts local creatives of color as leaders and changemakers.
We value:
Dismantling economic barriers in the arts industry.
Equitable and transparent compensation practices.
A community rooted in authentic connections, reciprocity, and mutual support.
Recognition that both seasoned and emerging creatives thrive with support and mentorship.
Beyond a festival
Along with our annual event, we support our creatives by connecting them with work opportunities and mentors. We’ve also coordinated workshops and field trips to local art events.
