Red Roots is a center for arts and social change located in the South Bronx. We coordinate a variety of arts workshops, political events and educational resources to help build sustainable, self-determined communities in New York City.
Hours:
Monday: 12pm - 7pm
Tuesday: 12pm - 7pm
Wednesday: 12pm - 7pm
Thursday and Friday nights for special events!
If Red Roots has been looking snazzy lately, it's because the crew has been doing fix-its: caulking leaks in the roof, installing our sign and makeshift gutter (minus a drain spout), building a new utility shelf and zine racks, setting up new computers in the space, and organizing / alphabetizing the lending library.
