Welcome to Atlantis—a movement, a vision, and a community-driven initiative that fuses music, art, skate culture, sustainability, and social justice into something bigger than the sum of its parts. Atlantis isn’t just a festival or a space—it’s a revolution in how we support artists, activists, and the causes that matter most.
What We Stand For
Atlantis is rooted in the belief that all beings deserve dignity, peace, and opportunities to express themselves. We are committed to:
-
Equity & Inclusion: Supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, women and girls, BIPOC communities, immigrants, and all marginalized groups.
-
Mental Health Awareness: Advocating for accessible mental health resources and supporting organizations that provide critical support and care. We believe that mental health is an intersectional issue, deeply connected to equity, sociocultural sensitivity, and inclusivity.
-
The Intersection of Pacifism, Environmentalism, and Sustainability: Protecting our planet and all its inhabitants by promoting sustainable living and encouraging choices that foster symbiosis with the earth, non-human animals, and fellow humans.
-
Creative Expression: Cultivating spaces where music, art, and skate culture can flourish, with a focus on empowering young and emerging artists.
-
Access to Education & Housing: Championing initiatives that make education and stable housing more accessible to those in need.
Where We’ve Been
Atlantis is an evolution of the work we’ve already begun through Unity Fest—our grassroots music and arts festival that has raised funds for causes such as:
-
Families affected by the Club Q shooting
-
Mental health support through NAMI
-
Global humanitarian efforts via Doctors Without Borders
-
Civil rights advocacy through the ACLU
Now, we’re expanding that mission.
Where We’re Going
Atlantis will take shape through festivals and creative spaces across the country and eventually, the world.
-
Atlantis Festivals: Multi-day, immersive events that blend live music, skate culture, community art projects, and grassroots activism to raise funds for critical social causes.
-
Atlantis Spaces: Community-driven, DIY sober music and arts venues that double as vegan coffeehouses and skate shops. You’ll find book exchanges, plant-based coffee, sustainable skate wax, vibrant live sober shows, and seminars on topics like spirituality, LGBTQ+ history, and more. It’s a space where young creatives, activists, and conscious consumers come together to connect, collaborate, innovate, share ideas, and create a positive impact – without compromising their values.
-
The Atlantis Movement Fund: A financial resource dedicated to supporting the charities we align with, with a portion of proceeds from events, merch, and community partnerships directed toward these causes.
Stay tuned for exciting updates! We’re gearing up for the fourth annual Unity Fest on July 26th this summer in New York City, with Ryan Cassata co-headlining (special shoutout to him as the founder of Rock The Pigeon!). We’re also bringing you Atlantis Festival, a three-week celebration across NYC, along with our upcoming T-shirt sale. And here’s some big news: We’re collaborating with YEW! – creators of the world’s highest performing sustainable sports waxes for skate, surf, snow, and more. More details on all of these projects will be hitting this blog soon. Thank you for bringing this vision to life with us.
With love and enthusiasm for a brighter world,
K.C. (they/she) – Musician, Activist, and Founder of Atlantis
