About / 

Partners

As a not-for-profit organisation, RISING relies on support from donors, public partners and corporate organisations to help fund ambitious art and reach new audiences.

With their support, we can offer free experiences, keep our ticket prices accessible, and have a positive impact on artists, audiences, and our city.

Funding makes it possible for us to amplify voices in our community. We do this by commissioning thoughtful and challenging work, and creating pathways and infrastructure for artists to scale up their practice and mount work at a major festival.
