WonderRoot

Since opening in 2004, this inspirational nonprofit committed to advocating for arts, artists, and social change has hosted more than 1,000 music shows and 700-plus free classes for artists who—with membership—can access recording studios, darkrooms, silkscreen and pottery studios, and more. At a time when other arts-related nonprofits have slipped, this Reynoldstown arts center has upped the ante, starting an in-house literary magazine, Loose Change, and forging new alliances with big fish like the High.
