Rising to Fame
A Flagship initiative by A-Arts Festival
Dedicated to discovering, developing, and showcasing exceptional performing artists.
This premier national platform unites outstanding talent from across South Africa, offering performers the opportunity to compete, be adjudicated, and be recognised on a professional stage. Rising to Fame is more than a competition – it is a launchpad for artistic growth, creative excellence, and career momentum.
A Festival Expanding Beyond Borders
Performing Arts Disciplines
The festival proudly celebrates three core disciplines of the performing arts:
-
Dance
-
Drama
-
Music & Vocals
From classical to contemporary, solo to ensemble, performers of all styles and age groups are invited to present their craft before respected industry professionals.
Join a festival where passion meets purpose, talent meets opportunity, and the next generation of performers rises to fame.
An International Vision
With a bold vision to expand beyond borders, Rising To Fame is developing an internationally aligned platform that welcomes artists from around the world to showcase their talents in South Africa — a country renowned for its rich culture, creativity, and storytelling.
