For the past three years, R.I.S.E. (Reaching Intelligent Souls Everywhere) has been creating major waves in Toronto’s grassroots arts community.

Celebrating the third successful year of edutainment, 416RISE was a smash success. Photographer Janelle Scott-Johnson was on hand to capture this telling photo essay of the night.
