What is ROAR Membership?
Over 220 artists and organisations in the greater region of Rotherham are currently members of our organisation, and we support them in many ways. Through our membership process, we aim to learn more about you and your goals so that we can better serve you. Our goal is to empower you develop the abilities you need to succeed in your creative endeavours.
Collaborative teamwork is encouraged to help you think beyond the box. We can assist you with the development of ideas and plans, the application of funding, the organisation of exhibitions, the creation of presentations, the development of technical skills, and the enhancement of marketing and promotion.
