Artists, Educators & more, Apply for a Share Space at Rootstock!

[Amanda Anglemyer]

Revive the Roots is hosting our 6th annual Fall Festival, Rootstock on Saturday September 19, 2026! 

We are bringing back Share Spaces at Rootstock this year and we're excited to invite folks to apply! In general, the goal of these Share Spaces is to showcase artists, educators, visual performers, hobbyists, and creatives to present their passions and talents as part of our annual celebration of the hard work volunteers and community and community members have poured into the shared space at Revive The Roots. 

We found great fun and success with our experience last year and have learned a few things to help improve the Share Spaces for 2026. This year we have a designated Performer's tent - please find this information in the application if you are applying as a performer (Music, puppetry, theater, etc...).

Please read the application carefully and let us know what your presentation will look like! These spaces are a venue for expression and education. We encourage you to feel inspired to invent what a presentation could be! We want YOU to help make this a collaborative experience. So many members of our community have specialized skills or creative projects that are waiting for the spotlight. We are here to give you that spotlight!

We'd love to invite you to fill out an application to be one of our Share-Space Presenters at Rootstock this year! Share-Space "Presenters" Application Form

These Share Space tents still offer a place for artists and craft makers to sell their work during the festival. We are always advocating and doing our best to support our local artists, musicians, educators and community partners in any way we can. If you feel your "presentation" needs a little more support from us, we encourage you to apply for our MicroGrants which you can find along with more information about “Share Spaces” on the application.

The application deadline is August 21st. If you have questions - please reach out to our team! Contact our Activities Coordinator Greg ( gregory.ll...@gmail.com ) or Rootstock Coordinator Lydia ( ly...@revivetheroots.org )

Keep an eye out for volunteer sign ups for Rootstock later this month :)
