Root Division is an arts and arts education non-profit that improves appreciation and access to the visual arts by connecting personal inspiration and community participation. The core of these efforts emanate from the Studios Program, in which artists receive studio space at below market rates and valuable professional & creative development opportunities in exchange for service in the organization.

- Teach art to youth in our after-school Youth Education Program
- Teach art classes to adults in our Adult Education Program
- Curate and install exhibitions for our Exhibitions & Events Program
- Help with marketing, promotion, fundraising, design, and other areas of arts                         administration
