RAW Vancouver presents "VISIONARY" (PHOTOS)

Dec 19 2017, 9:37 pm

A hand-selected group of Vancouver’s most talented artists came together earlier this month to showcase their creations as part of a global artists network.

RAW:natural born artists is a worldwide community of creative individuals, an independent organization for artists, by artists. Showcases are held in places across the world on a continual basis, now operating in nearly 60 cities from North America to Australia and, most recently, London, England.

What happens at a RAW Showcase? A circus of creativity is brought together under one roof to celebrate local independent film, fashion, music, visual art, hair & makeup artistry, and performance art.

This month’s Vancouver showcase, VISIONARY, featured an incredible sampling of the city’s talented creators. The next event, titled GRANDEUR, is set for March. Check out some great photos from VISIONARY below as well as a full list of artists from the showcase.
