WE RISE.
THE ART & TOUR 

WE RISE. originated in April 2020 with Australian multidisciplinary artist, Toni Short and a four-feet squared piece of art she found on the streets of New York City. 
Giving the reclaimed piece a new start, she layered acrylic over acrylic on canvas revealing the visual message of women rising up.  

To Toni, WE RISE. then and now symbolizes the strength
and beauty of women’s spirit to break through energy
and transform their life.   

The piece became the inaugural symbol in Toni’s latest collection, inspired by her own metamorphosis, TAKE 2.  Offering “old” or  “abandoned” art pieces a chance
to tell a new story through Toni’s artistic expression
and unique voice.   

Toni brought the art of self reclamation to life
with the WE RISE. TOUR for IWD 2024. in her home town NYC, where she launched the Spirit Sister Stories LIVE movement

A container for community that fosters creativity, authenticity and sisterhood. Experiences that create positivity through sharing stories and empowering womxn.
