Racines et Avenir- Roots and Future
We’re building a space for expression, community, and creation where New Yorkers of all ages gather around a shared love of art, language, and the living world.
Born from The Language & Laughter Studio (LLS), Racines et Avenir is a third place, neither home, nor work, nor school where Francophone artists meet children, families, and educators to learn, play, and imagine together.
Through movement, storytelling, and performance, children experience powerful French-language experiences
Why We Give
At LLS, we plant the roots of the future.
We know the world our children will inherit is uncertain.
But we also know what they’ll need: imagination, compassion, and courage to make it a better place.
Our Goals
1. Scholarships for Children
We’re raising funds so that 10% of our students can join our community through full or partial scholarships. Every gift helps open our doors wider to families from all backgrounds.
2. Francophone Artists in Residence
We invite artists from across the Francophone world to perform and create with our students.
In partnership with the Alliance New York, we will sponsor these artists to visit neighboring schools, extending the reach of their performances and creative workshops to more children across our community.
The Invisible Dog Art Center is proud to serve as the fiscal sponsor for the Language and Laughter Studio.
Your Gift Grows Futures
Throughout our 17 year journey, LLS has continually adapted to meet the evolving needs of our students and families. The level of trust in our community taught us everything we needed to learn about pushing boundaries, standing confident in our freak, being reliable and being accountable. And it taught me how to create a community of people who believe that there is some work to do to create a better world for them. We all do our best work in community, that is to say, we can only really solve problems together.
