Artists and their community partners identify an issue, challenge, or need in their community. Community visits are conducted to ascertain the strenght and commitment of the partners, their readiness to undertake the work and how ROOTS' resources as a partner may best be utilized. ROOTS then selects a small number of projects to work with where ROOTS serves as a third partner, leveraging its internal capacity. In addition to direct support, from $5,000 - $20,000, ROOTS offers technical assistance to support logistics, administration, finances, fiscal sponsorship, or marketing and publicity. (ii)Artistic Assistance Professional development (AA) AA Professional Development provides small grants from $250-$2500 to support the professional development needs of individual artists. Grants have been provided to help provide artists with opportuniites to advance their artistic/creative practices and further their careers. Professional development grants fund opportunities that will advance a member's artistic practice, profession and/or career in some demonstrable way. Professional development can include but is not limited to mentorship, attending a training, workshop or conference and purchasing technology or equipment that can advance their craft. (iii) AA Project Development AA Project Development offers artists grants from $1,000-$5,000 to support the development, creation, and presentation of artistic work. This program is mission critical as it speaks to that part of the mission of artists who create original work. A material difference between ROOTS members and most other network or service organizations in the field is the funding. Funds to develop a project, especially for individual artists, are often the most difficult support to secure. There are only a handful of foundations, or government arts programs that individual artiss are eligible to apply to. Thus, for southern artists, Artistic Assistance Project Development is a rare opportunity to fund new work. (iv) ROOTS Weekend ROOTS Weekends are a series of three-day regional gatherings for artists and cultural organizers that started in the fall of 2015. ROOTS Weekend have allowed us to have a more consistent presence throughout the year, growing our membership and regional awareness of ROOTS throughout its fourteen-state region outside of its signature event, ROOTS Week. ROOTS has hosted ROOTS Weekend in New Orleans, LA, in 2015, Eatonville, FL in 2016, New Market/Knoxville, TN, in 2016, Dallas, TX in 2016, Richmond, VA in 2017, Atlanta, GA in 2017, Jackson, MS, in 2018, Jacksonville, FL in 2019, as well as virtual events during the pandemic in 2020 and 2021. Over 1,200 artists and cultural organizers have had the opportunity to deepen engagement, learning and sharing. Further, a significant part of the project includes documenting the experience and lessons learned from each gathering to share the experience and learning with the field. (v) ROOTS Week - Annual Meeting and Artists' Retreat For 43 years, the ROOTS Week Annual Meeting & Artists' Retreat has been the organization's signature event. ROOTS Week is a one-of-a-kind gathering - six days of performances, art and organizing workshops, visual art exhibitions, and ROOTS' annual business meeting, in a retreat-like setting in the mountains of North Carolina. Artists, cultural organizers, and their families come from across the south and beyond, joining an ever-growing, ever-changing network of people committed to building a just world through arts, community, and activism. It is the place to show new work, share work in progress, build new relationships, create collaborations and reunite with lifelong friends and colleagues. (vi) The Intercultural Leadership Institute The Intercultural Leadership Institute (ILI) is a year-long intensive leadership program for artists, culture bearers, and other arts professional. ILI is a collaborative program of Alternate ROOTS, the First Peoples Fund, the National Association of Latino Arts & Cultures (NALAC), and the PA'I Foundation. The effort grew out of the direct experience of the leaders of these founding cultural organizations. ILI's "intercultural" approach emphasizes overlapping experiences, shared space, and mutual accountability - and seeks to challenge dominant social norms while honoring differences in histories, traditions, vocabulary, and more. As a peer cohort, ILI intercultural leaders hone personal and professional skills to affect local, national, and global communities - and promote a shift toward greater awareness, resourcing, and action in the broader field of arts & culture. There have been three ILI cohorts (30 participants each) with the fourth cohort planned for 2023. (vii) Partners For Change Partners For Change is our newest artist support program and a manifestation of our strategic commitment to ending racism and other oppressions through catalytic investments of $75,000 in direct funding over three years to artists and cultural organizers in the south. Our partners also receive upt to $25,000 per year of technical assistance. Partners For Change offers support and resources needed for cultural workers and organizations to build their capacity to work more stategically towards a more just world. Partners For Change funds social justice partnerships in grassroots communities throughout ROOTS' fourteen-state region in the U.S. south. Pt VI, Line 11b Director reviews Form 990 before sending in.
