Rise Against Launches Fan-Driven Community Initiative The A.R.T. Project (All Rise Together)
by Brendan M. Allen
Chicago-based alternative punk rock band Rise Against has announced the launch of The A.R.T. Project (All Rise Together). The fan-driven creative initiative celebrates community, collaboration, and expression in support of Rise Against’s tenth studio album Ricochet, out now via Loma Vista.
At its core, The A.R.T. Project is about bringing people together through music and creativity during divided times. Built on Rise Against’s long-held belief that music is a collective experience, the initiative invites fans into the band’s creative process to celebrate the community that has grown alongside them for over 25 years.
The short-form, sit-down conversation with the band was filmed on-site during an immersive art activation in Los Angeles to kick off the campaign. On that day, Rise Against invited dozens of dedicated fans to help shape a new visual world for Ricochet by creating original posters to serve as the backdrop in their new music videos. As the band performed standout tracks off the album, fans were featured alongside them and their artwork that was inspired by the record’s lyrics, themes, and emotional urgency.
Rise Against has remained a steady and unifying presence, creating music that resonates across generations and brings people together through shared emotion and experience. The band has cultivated a body of work rooted in empathy, urgency, and connection, balancing intensity with melody while reflecting the world around them and the communities that listen.
The A.R.T. Project launch marks the beginning of a series of new music videos from Ricochet rolling out in the coming weeks, ahead of the band’s upcoming headlining spring tour. Rise Against will kick off their headlining North American Tour on March 3rd in Providence, RI with special guest Destroy Boys. They will be bringing the band’s signature sound and socially conscious music to stages across North America, including Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Pittsburgh, Madison, Spokane, and more.
