We Help Creative Business, People & Places to Thrive

Culture Rise’s mission is to support the development of vibrant cultural places where people live and work. We collaborate with artists, communities, cultural organisations and local councils to develop thriving arts and cultural businesses, projects and spaces.

  • “We worked with Culture Rise to engage the community of North East Lincolnshire and co-create a festival strategy that was relevant to local people. This will be hugely beneficial when we apply for funding to make the festival happen, which Culture Rise will support us to do. Their work will help us deliver a festival that’s specific to the place and local people, and that extends the impact the festival has on our audiences.”

    Creative Director, From the Fields

  • “I never would’ve achieved funding and booked up a full tour without your project development and fundraising support. Working with you has enabled me to surpass my creative and career ambitions. Thanks again.”

    Sarah Palmer, Visual Artist

  • “Culture Rise helped to develop one of our artists projects and they submitted a funding bid to help it be realised. The process was smooth and quick and their support took the pressure off our limited capacity”
