Raíces Cultural Arts Collective

The Raíces Cultural Arts Collective is a network of musicians and artists working to preserve cultural, traditional and folkloric art forms. Through this initiative, Raíces seeks to provide support for artists and researchers working on individual and cooperative projects in the traditional and folkloric arts, public history and humanities. This initiative provides members with the opportunity to share and promote each others work, and form relationships for artistic collaboration.
