Mentorship Applications Are Now Closed

Thank you to everyone who applied to the RootsPulse Fest 2026 Mentorship Program.

Applications for this year's program are now closed, and our mentees have been selected.

From October 21 to 24, 2026, selected emerging Indigenous, Black, Brown, and Asian (IBBA) Deaf artists will participate in an intensive mentorship experience with established Deaf artists in ASL storytelling, Visual Vernacular (VV), dance and movement, and performance art.

The mentorship sessions are specifically for the selected mentors and mentees and are not open to the public.

Want to experience RootsPulse Fest? Our public workshops on October 22, 23 and 24 are open for registration, and our October 23 and 24 performance events will be available through Eventbrite.
