Rising Arts Agency

Come and explore new equitable models of fundraising where communities are becoming the funders

Ever wondered what would happen if we - communities, young people, creatives - decided who got funding and how? Come and hear from people who are already doing just that and think about how you could too 🤔 💭 As funding becomes even harder to come by than ever before yet it still seems like the same people keep getting funded we want to think about new models of money gathering and giving away that lets the people decide where their money goes and supports the things we care about outside of insitutional priorities. Come along to an in coversation led by Rising Arts Agency with people who are already rethinking who and how gets money to do the things that make our world a lil better.
