Get Involved

As a festival that reflects Melbourne and Australia in this moment, we’re pleased to offer school bookings and resources for students. Each year the festival program has many works which align with the Australian and Victorian School curriculum requirements, across year levels.

We'll be announcing special programming for students in early 2024 for June.

Melbourne Art Trams Resources

The 2023 Melbourne Art Trams launched in June and will ride the tracks for a full 12 months (when the 2024 trams are launched to coincide with the 2024 festival).

RISING has worked with accredited educators to develop these resources for teachers to use in the classroom. Sign up to our Creative Learning Mailing list to download the resources for free.
