Who & What is RAW:

RAW:natural born artists is an independent arts organization, for artists, by artists. Its mission is to provide independent artists of all creative genres, with the tools, resources and exposure needed to inspire and cultivate creativity. RAW Artists receive Artist Perks for being a featured artist. RAW also educates emerging artists through seminars, workshops and insight to further the knowledge of their industry. RAW connects them with one another so that they might grow together, while providing them with opportunities to give back to their own local youth communities through the arts. They encourage the creative success of the many visionaries and storytellers of our generation, and have created a movement through our Grassroots Showcase Events & Online Arts Community.
