 What is RAW?

RAW:natural born artists is an independent arts organization that hand-selects and spotlights independent creatives in visual art, film, fashion, music, hair & makeup artistry, photography, models and performing art.

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. RAW educates, connects and exposes emerging artists in 54 artistic communities across the United States and Australia, through monthly showcase events. Join us in celebrating the work of these artists here in Sacramento on February 6, 2013 at District 30, 1022 K Street, Sacramento.

What Can I Expect?

RAW events are multi-faceted artistic showcases. Each event features a film screening, musical performance, fashion show, art gallery, performance art and a featured hairstylist and makeup artist. These artists are all local, hand-picked talent who have been chosen to feature at RAW.
RAW events feature a cash bar for cocktails while you enjoy the night. Dress code is cocktail attire, so dress the occasion and get ready for an artistic circus of creativity!

Pop UP studies from last week

Last Friday we tested the new format for POP UP Friday--a long pose in the morning and our shorter situational pose session in the afternoon.   I was coordinating the Art Soup Luncheon and was constantly switching between chef hat and artist beret. But I had a lot of fun that day.  Top: conte drawing on blue paper. Bottom: 20 minute acrylic sketch on gessoed paper.
