Rising Artists presented by Wesley Foster Care

Rising Artists is more than an exhibition.

It’s a transformative initiative that empowers children and young people in foster care to reclaim their stories and shape their futures through art.

Experience joy through their eyes as you journey into this year’s theme, “Joy is…”.

Each artwork offers a unique expression of what joy means to them—a reminder that joy looks different for everyone and every expression is equally meaningful.

For many in foster care, there’s no fridge to display their drawings.

Rising Artists offers what many take for granted: a place to belong, be celebrated, seen, and heard.
