Rooted 250 is a one-night community art exhibition for students and professional artists, presented in support of Thankful 4 America (T4A)—a cultural initiative centered on gratitude, belonging, and shared civic identity.

The exhibition is intentionally positive, inclusive, and nonpolitical, inviting artists to explore how heritage and origin stories shape who we are and how we belong.

We are currently accepting 2D and 3D visual artwork, as well as dance and music performances. Submissions are now open; space is limited.

Open to high school students and up, including students, faculty, and regional artists.
