Who's in the Limelight?
Community Roots Arts Festival (CRAFt)

The mission of CRAFt is to highlight local Black, Indigenous, brown, self-identified creatives of color through a community supported festival.
CRAFt started as an intimate house warming idea that involved showcasing a friend’s acrylic paintings to help boost their new artistic career. The founders quickly realized that many of their Black and brown artist friends also lacked the attention and support they deserved, despite being incredibly talented.
As the founders dug into nearby art festivals, most featured predominantly white artists and involved immense financial barriers (application fees, booth fees, equipment needs, and more). Eventually, CRAFt was born! Co-created and fostered among loving friends who simply want to see their Black and brown artistic peers thrive and eagerly supported by the local community.

Mark your calendars for the next Community Roots Arts Festival! 2024's CRAFt is scheduled for Saturday, September 07th and Sunday, September 08th. Entry into the festival is free, or there are suggested donation tickets with special perks, learn more here!

We invite you to make a tax deductible contribution to CRAFt through BCAA’s Fiscal Sponsorship Program!

La misión de CRAFt es resaltar el trabajo de artistas creativos que se identifican como BIPOC a través de un festival apoyado por la comunidad.
CRAFt comenzó como una idea de una inauguración intima de una casa para exhibir las pinturas acrílicas de un amigo para ayudar a impulsar su nueva carrera artística. Los fundadores rápidamente se dieron cuenta de que muchos de sus amigos artistas de color también carecían de la atención y el apoyo que merecían, a pesar de ser increíblemente talentosos.
A medida que los fundadores investigaban los festivales de arte cercanos, la mayoría presentaba artistas predominantemente blancos e implicaba inmensas barreras financieras (tarifas de solicitud, tarifas de stand, necesidades de equipos y más). ¡Finalmente nació CRAFT! Co-creado y fomentado entre amigos cariñosos que simplemente quieren ver a sus pares artísticos prosperar y ser apoyados con entusiasmo por la comunidad local.


¡Marque sus calendarios para el próximo Festival de Artes de Community Roots! El CRAFT de 2024 está programado para el Sabado 07 y Domingo 08 de Septiembre. La entrada al festival es gratuita o se sugieren boletos de donación con ventajas especiales. ¡Obtenga más información aquí!


¡Lo invitamos a hacer una contribución deducible de impuestos a CRAFt a través del Programa de Patrocinio Fiscal de BCAA!
