Description

Community care does not survive on awareness alone. RISE Weekend is calling on Dallas and supporters beyond Texas to turn a World AIDS Day cultural celebration into resources for people living with and impacted by HIV. Presented by The Creative Mind LA, the December 4-6 experience pairs comedy, music, spoken word and conversation with a $50,000 community-fund goal, sponsored admissions and connections to local services.

Created by artist and cultural producer Tyson Isaiah Evanson, known as TIE the Oracle, RISE is rooted in Black culture and shaped by queer creative leadership. Its artists, partners and audiences span identities and backgrounds. The invitation extends to comedy fans, music lovers, arts patrons, professionals, social groups and regional visitors: come for an extraordinary cultural experience and help resource the community behind it.
