RAW Part II

It has been about three weeks since the RAW showcase I attended. If you missed the post about what RAW is, check it out here. The event itself was so much fun and I really enjoyed talking to everyone that stopped by! I would recommend participating to anyone and check them out to see if there's one near you.

Here are some pics from that night:
That's me!

RAW: Natural Born Artists

In April, I was contacted by the event director for the San Diego RAW: Natural Born Artists. At first, I thought it was just another event that I would have to shell out money to attend or be promoted. As I looked into it, I realized it was much different that I expected.

There are RAW events popping up in cities all over, so no matter where you are, check it out!

From the website: www.rawartists.org

RAW:natural born artists is an independent arts organization, for artists, by artists.

Our mission is to provide independent artists of all creative genres, with the tools, resources and exposure needed to inspire and cultivate creativity. RAW 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.

We encourage the creative success of the many visionaries and storytellers of our generation.

(1) GRASSROOTS SHOWCASE EVENTS
RAW hand-picks and spotlights 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 circus of creativity.

What can you expect when attending RAW Showcase? We screen 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 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) in the "SHOWCASES" section of our web site!

(2) ONLINE ARTS COMMUNITY
www.RAWartists.org is designed to showcase our RAW artists online. RAW hosts a plethora of online profiles -- exclusive to our hand-picked RAW artists. RAWartists.org 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, sell their work, post videos, music and promote upcoming projects, upcoming events and track their success.

Rolando Street Fair Fun!

This past weekend I joined up with Mayhem Jane and RAM Designs (Etsy shops still pending) to sell our wares at the Rolando Street Fair. It was a great day and we had so much fun chatting and selling to the locals.

I also had the chance to meet Sarah from Samari Designs! It was great to meet up with a fellow Etsian and another clutch maker. You can also check out her clutches at http://www.samaridesigns.com/. She had some really great information and thoughts, and though we both make clutches, our personalities and styles certainly reflect in our products, making them very unique from each other. I'm looking forward to running into her again!

Here are some fun pictures...

Prepping for the Rolando Street Fair

A friend of mine, Mayhem Jane and her husband RAM Design, proposed setting up shop in their neighborhood's street fair. The Rolando Street Fair is March 27th this year. So our "cooperative" will be a combination of knits, bags and totes, prints and art, earring, rosaries, and hair clips. How fun!

In the meantime, I'll be making totes and fun bags this month in preparation... I have a few "in the making" pics and will give everyone a preview of what I'll have that day.
