About
RISE offers £500 in funding to young creatives aged 13 – 30 that live in the south east and parts of the south west of England to support and enhance their creative practice. Spanning the wide range of UK creative industries, the funding aims to empower and invest in the next generation of artists and creators.
Our RISE funding scheme is currently paused whilst we take some dedicated time to reconsider and reimagine what the programme should look like in the future. We’re reviewing how RISE can best support young creatives with clearer pathways, more meaningful opportunities, and a refreshed approach that truly reflects the needs and ambitions of emerging talent. We’ll share updates as soon as the new version of the programme is ready to launch.
Previous years of RISE
2023 was our first year delivering RISE funding to young people across the South of England. To learn about RISE 2023 in more detail you can download the case study below which explores the journeys of three of the young creatives awarded funding, and watch the video to meet some of the cohort of creatives and hear about their practices.
