Rising Arts Agency
Rising Arts Agency are a youth-led creative agency that puts young people at the centre of decision making and delivery. The company advocates for social change through their campaigns, research projects, industry consultation, and creative agency services.
Enabled by a core team the agency draws on a collective of creative young thinkers, producers, illustrators, film makers and artists to collaborate with their clients. Together they establish new routes into the creative sector and challenge outdated ways of working through communicating issues that matter most to young people.
