ROAR
ROAR is run by a small group of passionate people who believe that art is transformative and integral to the human experience.
Rotherham Open Arts Renaissance is a CIC, operating as a membership based infrastructure organisation within the voluntary sector. We are funded as an Arts Council's National Portfolio Organisation.
Who We Are
ROAR is an independent, non-profit arts organization situated in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. Our mission is to develop and sustain innovative, challenging and insightful art practice. We believe that we can help the regeneration by supporting the local creative sector in its professional development and rising ambitions, while also embedding the arts in the social & economic environment, enabling the sector to thrive and creative practitioners to earn a living.
What We Do
We wish to forge a robust, thriving art ecosystem, where the canon of what constitutes art has expanded. We strive for art to be understood and accepted as essential. We aim to build strong art networks and solidarities across Rotherham, with our narratives and discourse seen as part of the national art discourse. Further, through our engagement with important issues, we wish to help create a more equitable, empathetic society.
