13th Annual RAW kicks off with opening of the Preview Exhibition

Raglan Old School Arts Centre news

Art works curated and hung ready for RAW Preview Exhibition
We are exactly a month away from the Raglan Arts Weekend and next week sees the opening of the Preview Exhibition in the Raglan Old School Arts Centre.
 
There will be an exclusive opening for RAW artist friends and family on Thursday 28th September 2023 and then we are open daily from Friday 29th, 10am to 2pm for everyone.
 
The Preview Exhibition will house 84 artworks, all of them developed especially for this RAW. All artworks are for sale, some of them at a very attractive price point, and proceeds go directly to artists and towards the event itself.
 
Each of the 42 studios has to submit two artworks – a showcase piece at any price point, as well as a 300mm x 300mm artwork to be sold for $200. These 300 x 300s are extremely popular and we love seeing the red dots that mark the sales, acknowledging the extent of talent we have in our wee town!
 
This year, artists span the widest media to date covering painting, illustration, sculpture, glass, ceramics, textiles, graffiti taxidermy, jewellery, photography, woodwork, weaving, metalwork, prints and more.
 
Come see what’s in store, plan your self-guided open studio art trail and maybe buy a piece that speaks to you. We’d love for you to support our artists!
 
Stay tuned to hear about our 3 cool initiatives new to this year! It’s all GO GO GO!
