Look out for these 'Scan and Win' competition posters this year at each of our artist's studios...

Scan the QR code to enter a competition to win a $1000 accommodation voucher from @groundswell_property for a Raglan getaway.
Each studio = a new chance to scan. The more studios people visit, the more times they can enter.

Thanks to our sponsors Groundswell Propety and @bayleysraglan @bayleyswaikato

There's a lot going on this week in our artists' studios, workshops, corners of their homes and inside their heads!

Wishing all our artists the best as they set up for RAW - just 3 sleeps away!

FOLLOW THE FLAGS!

Look out for our official RAW flags around Raglan over the open studio weekend - they are your signposts to the very best art talent that Raglan has to offer. These flags mark where our official participating RAW artists are exhibiting their work... in their home studios or workshops, halls and galleries. There may be other pop-ups over the weekend, but the RAW flags tell you the way to go.

Some say they are orange, some say pink, we say they are salmon!
