Support, Growth & Creation for Arts & Culture organisations

We support Creative, Arts and Culture Organisations to thrive

At Culture Rise, we help arts and culture organisations like yours grow with clarity, purpose and sustainability. Whether you're a small creative business, independent theatre company or cultural organisation, we offer tailored business support that makes your vision achievable.

We understand the challenges: constant fundraising demands, living from one project to another, limited time, or lack of business skills to plan for future sustainability. That’s where we come in. Through strategic planning, fundraising support, coaching and creative producing, we give you the tools, insight and confidence to grow. 

Our support improves the financial sustainability, efficiency, inclusivity and overall health of arts and cultural organisations so your creative and purpose driven work has a greater impact on the individuals, communities and place that matter most.

You bring the passion. We help build the path.

  • “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”
