WHAT IS RAW? 

RAW:natural born artists is an independent arts organization, for artists, by artists.
We're a community made up of creative individuals across the nation.
Our mission is to provide independent artists within the first 10 years of their career with the tools, resources and exposure needed to inspire and cultivate creativity.


We encourage the creative success of the many visionaries and storytellers of our generation.
RAW currently operates in 32 cities across the United States and counting ...

HOW DOES RAW WORK?

 RAW Directors hand-pick and spotlight local artistic talent in film, fashion, music, visual art, hair & makeup artistry, and performance art. With artists from all genres in each showcase, RAW events come together to form an amazing one-night circus of creativity. These showcases occur once a month in each city location (32 showcases a month). Our RAW season runs from February-October and comes to an extravagant end with our indie arts awards show RAWards in Hollywood.


What can you expect when attending a RAW Showcase? You'll experience an independent film (usually a short, webisode or music video), a fashion show from an up-and-coming local designer, a musical performance, an art gallery featuring several independent visual artists and photographers, and performance art (comedy/dance/fire dancers, you name it...). You'll get a little taste of everything. Combine all this creativity with drinks, fun, and good company! To partake in the experience, RSVP ($10/ticket) to any of our 32 monthly, city showcases by clicking on the city tab at the top of the homepage!


www.RAWartists.org is designed to showcase our RAW artists online.  It hosts a plethora of online profiles -- exclusive to our hand-picked RAW artists. It is open to the public to view, however, the site profiles and perks are reserved for only selected RAW artists. RAW artists can connect with other RAW artists, post videos and music, promote upcoming projects, and track their success. We also host what we call our RAWk Wall, where art gets down to business. This portion of the site consists of exclusive art-to-business opportunities for our RAW artists to partake in.


I am so happy and proud to be a part of the RAW family and look forward to sharing the video of the show with you in a few weeks.
