The City of Raleigh Arts Commission has recently designated its fresh ensemble of creative collaborators, confirming 35 Raleigh Arts Partners for the 2025–2026 cycle. The chosen nonprofits are set to receive a boost of funding aimed to significantly augment the arts and culture scene within the buzzing capital city, as reported by the City of Raleigh. This initiative is all about amplifying accessibility to the arts, so that every Raleigh resident can craft their own cultural journey, whether they're behind the scenes, front row at a show, or buried nose-deep in a workshop.
With a challenging application process, these partners are set to offer a variety of arts experiences to the public and tourists. The Raleigh Arts Partner Program balances selectivity with strong support, guided by recommendations from the Raleigh Arts Commission, which chose these organizations. A full list of partners, representing various art forms, is available on the City of Raleigh Arts website.
Raleigh Arts serves as the city's hub for public art, community arts programs, and support for nonprofit arts organizations. It oversees the Pullen and Sertoma Arts Centers, manages several exhibition spaces, and maintains the Municipal Art Collection. Its goal is to make art accessible to everyone in the city.
