LEARN ABOUT BECOMING A RISE ARTIST

Over a year ago ArtsConnect set out on a mission to assist local artists in selling their work. We realized over the course of our testing that an online marketplace simply was not enough. If we truly want to help artists succeed, we need to offer so much more. 

At ArtsConnect, we’ve taken our experience in marketing, design, event management and development and combined that with the collective knowledge from specialists in everything from branding to shipping in order to create an on-going comprehensive program that will teach artists how to be successful and continually help them in honing that success. But beyond that, this program gives back by placing professional theater shows in our local public schools. As the saying goes, “A rising tide lifts all boats”. That’s our plan — artists helping artists grow into success while giving back to the artists of the future. 

We call it RISE: A Learning-Based Art Collective. It’s big and we couldn’t be more excited to get this project off the ground and running.
