Welcome to Roots Artist Registry!
Browse Artists by Heritage
Artists are listed below by Heritage or Demographic group. Roots Artist Registry strongly supports artists known to be underrepresented in mainstream arts venues in the United States, often referred to as “minority artists” or “artists of color.” Artists listed in this section of the registry chose to self-identify for the purpose of making themselves available to those who wish to find artists listed by heritage. There is an additional section for artists who identify as "Woman/Female" artists.
