DUST Rising CIC activities focuses on encouraging engagement with high quality contemporary visual arts, and raising the profile of the city’s creative talent in celebrating the rich heritage of Stoke on Trent and the surrounding areas. DUST Rising CIC sees the development of social identity as an important value. Continual development of social identity can be positively enhanced through marrying critical thinking and respect for the heritage, essential to building a healthy social identity in ethnically diverse and politically difficult times. DUST Rising CIC is an organisation sustained by the artists and determined to support artists we are working with. During the financial year 2023/2024 DUST Rising CIC continued to work towards the above goals. Our main project title in the 2023/2024 year was Red Amber Green: Transporting the City (RAG). This project run through March and April 2024. Dust Rising liaised with the City Council, the Capital&Centric as well as Bowmer and Kirland to deliver this exhibition in an old and soon to be renovated (at the time) site, In the building called the Signal Box, at The Goods Yard development site. We involved number of artists, art graduates using variety of mediums, poets, photographers, painters and more. We also used services of the local businesses including food by Feasted during our opening. Artists in the show were encouraged to explore the history of the site and include rail, road, canals or other site-specific reference in their work that would comment on the site heritage and its regeneration. Artists explored these themes while considering how the site can play its part in the near future of Stoke-on-Trent being the City of Imagination. The railway, the canal, and the roads are the significant components that have created a vibrant heritage and an exciting foundation for a permanent reminder of how these commercial and social foundations have shaped the city since the late 17th century. Therefore, we encouraged our artists to explore the concepts derived from the original goods yard activities and essentially aimed to throw a fresh and up-lifting light on the role the creative industries can play in the city’s visitors, cultural and commercial regeneration as part of the levelling up agenda, and celebrating a hopeful (RAG)'s to riches future. We continued to explore our social media presence with the help of the C&C social media team. The exhibition was a success, with high numbers of visitors commenting on the site past and positive future. The exhibition raised high interest and we were able to confirm our numbers of visitors is growing. Through the show, we brought public attention further to the site development and to the great artists we have in the area. Our artists also confirmed positive responses to their work and their presence in the exhibition as important factor of the year.
DUST Rising CIC is an artist led community interest company. Our stakeholders are our audiences, our artists and our funders. We aim to benefit all three of those groups through providing opportunities to view high quality contemporary visual arts in the area benefiting all our stakeholders. Providing opportunities to exhibit and work as part of our organisation to our artists and community members. As well as raising the profile of the city’s creative talent in celebrating the rich heritage of North Staffordshire, particularly Stoke on Trent, Newcastle Under Lyme and the surrounding areas benefiting all our stakeholders including our funders.

Our main project title in the 2023/2024 year was Red Amber Green: Transporting the City (RAG). The feedback gathered from RAG: Transporting the City show was very positive throughout and confirmed our believe visitors, artists and funders would love to see more of our shows. We used a visitor book to collect written feedback from our visitors and our invigilators kept a tally of visitors numbers during our open hours. The overall response comments were highly supportive. High numbers of visitors commenting on the site past and positive future. The exhibition raised high interest and we were able to confirm our numbers of visitors is growing.
