RAW: natural born artists is an independent arts organization that hand picks and spotlights independent artists. Recognizing all forms of art, RAW brings people in visual art, film, fashion, music, and hair and makeup artistry together for an evening of recognition, appreciation, and of course fun! RAW’s mission is “to provide up-and-coming artists of all creative realms with the tools, resources and exposure needed to inspire and cultivate creativity so that they might be seen, heard and loved.” With that being said, it’s not a bad idea to hit up all of your artsy friends to give them a heads up on this awesome opportunity where they can promote themselves, as well as their art.
