WonderRoot Harnesses the Power of Art to Create Change

Founded in 2004 by a group of friends and artists/activists, WonderRoot is an Atlanta, Georgia-based non-profit arts and service organization that seeks to unite artists and community to bring about positive social change. Beginning its work in schools, community centers, and public spaces, the charity opened the WonderRoot Community Arts Center in early 2008. Named the “Best Place to Create Art and a Better World” by Atlanta Magazine, the center hosts arts education programs and artistic performances, serving as a community gathering space and a launching pad for artists.

Over the next few years, WonderRoot launched various signature programs such as 75 Blue Doors, Art on the BeltLine, and the Walthall Artist Fellowship. Now regarded as one of Atlanta's leading cultural organizations, WonderRoot continues to empower artists while providing arts-based solutions to issues of environmental justice, social justice, and health and youth development. WonderRoot believes that artists of all mediums have the potential to change the world.
