Will Wonders Never Cease

WonderRoot Community Arts Center

This just in: Finger drumming and M.A.S.H. Excel sheet-making are not contributing to your J-O’s “creative work environment.”

Good thing WonderRoot, a new community arts space for letting creative juices flow and contributing to the greater good, is now accepting members.

Residencies cost ten bucks a month and cover all-access use of the house-turned-fine arts studio and gallery. The iMac lab, darkroom, and lounge stocked with vintage building blocks and industrial design anthologies are just the beginning.

Upstairs, buy or sell framed art (locals like Christy Parry exhibit commission free) or lay down tracks in a professional recording studio. Downstairs is home to a pinball machine, mini sound stage, and fledgling ceramics studio.

The only catch? Members are encouraged to volunteer for WonderRoot’s all-ages arts workshops and youth outreach clinics throughout the year.

We trust you’ll get the memo.

WonderRoot, 982 Memorial Drive, Reynoldstown (404-254-5955 or wonderroot.org).
