This holiday season, R.I.S.E. Arts Center is celebrating The Art of Belonging, a campaign dedicated to uplifting young Black and Brown creatives of all learning abilities. At R.I.S.E., belonging isn’t just a theme; it’s the heart of everything we do. We create a space where youth feel seen, supported, and empowered to express their brilliance through the arts.

As part of our Holiday Campaign, we’re hosting the Art of Belonging Showcase & Auction, featuring original artwork created by our students. Every piece tells a story of joy, resilience, creativity, and the power of having a place to truly belong.

The showcase will take place during our Holiday Edition R&B Bingo Night, a fun and vibrant evening of music, community, and celebration. Guests will have the opportunity to view student artwork, participate in our silent auction, and witness firsthand how their support helps us continue providing inclusive arts education, mentorship, and career-building opportunities for neurodivergent and underserved youth.

Your generosity directly fuels our mission. Every contribution helps us provide art supplies, fund workshops and mentorships, and create meaningful spaces for young creatives to grow and shine.

Together, we can ensure that every young person at R.I.S.E. feels the power of belonging in the studio, on the stage, and in their community.
