Each year, the City of Raleigh Arts Commission chooses Raleigh-based arts nonprofits to expand arts experiences and cultural opportunities for residents and visitors, helping the City realize its vision for Raleigh as a community connected through arts and culture, where every person is empowered to lead the creative life they envision.
The 35 Raleigh Arts Partners for 2025-2026 have been chosen through a rigorous application process to receive funding based on Raleigh Arts Commission recommendations.
Raleigh Arts Partners span a range of art forms and provide many ways for residents to connect with the arts and their communities as art makers, audience members, and/or as students.
