I'm an intern at Root Division, and what I've been most impressed with is how accessible the staff is, especially given that they're modern and have pretty big openings. And the idea of giving artists cheap studio space in exchange for giving back to the community is a really nice idea. *This review was collected during a site visit to Root Division's 3 Minute Film Festival and entered by GreatNonprofits staff on behalf of the reviewer
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the opening nights--it's always packed, people are having a good time, and when I work at the door people are always impressed with the mission. Especially when I give my schpiel about what we do, people are always willing to donate.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
helping with the shows and the openings, and really getting exposure to all facets of what it's like being an artist through things like the 2nd Saturday programs.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
they're really great. Helpful, supportive, approachable.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
move to a bigger space, support more artists and increase the school programs. One of the neatest things RD does is run art programs for public schools that don't have the budget for them, so running more art programs and afterschool programs would be great.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
reaching out to a broader demographic with regard to a more racially diverse audience.

I volunteer here because my friend, Rachael, is affiliated with Root Division and I help out with the shows and the openings. I also send friends to take classes. *This review was collected during a site visit to Root Division's 3 Minute Film Festival and entered by GreatNonprofits staff on behalf of the reviewer

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
pretending to be an artist at these events!
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
everyone is just an artist volunteering as staff--they're passionate, and they've integrated Root Division with the community.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
get a new space with better natural light
Ways to make it better...
there was a formal way for people to volunteer if you're not an artist--I just go through Rachael right now, and she tells me what's going on.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
funding space, finding ways for artists to make money and, as the organization expands, figuring out who deserves what space.
