It gives us great pleasure to announce that the lead artwork for RAW 2026 is....
SHORTYDUBS!

Shortydubs (a.k.a. Brad Dring) is no stranger to RAW and is simply going from strength to strength every year. His iconic style is proving to be a firm favourite amongst RAW visitors (Brad was one of our best sellers in the past two RAWs) and we are very proud to have one of his artworks profiling our event.

This is also a landmark year for Raglan with the WSL and we're also pleased we can give a subtle nod to this world surf event in our chosen artwork style for this year, from a Raglan artist who really seems to be making waves!

The chosen artwork is entitled 'Bored Riders' and it is a mixed media on wood panel artwork.

Brad's signature style will be featured on the Raglan Arts Guide front cover, as well as on signage and other marketing material.

We want to also give a massive shout out to Miguel from @mafiadesignnz, our Raglan designer for RAW. He is the one making it all come together so beautifully... it's magic!

Head to Shortydub's page to see his work: @shortydubs

This is an appreciation post for our many incredible visitors! Meet Gavin and Michelle McConnell who have huge respect from the organisers as they went to every single studio! See? It can be done! 🤣 We hope everyone had an amazing time, we were blown away by the visitors in town and the vibe and celebration of all our artists. We hope you enjoyed scanning in on our 15th anniversary, and congrats to our winner Rosemary Sloman who gets to enjoy a $1000 Raglan getaway at a @groundswell_property brought to you by @bayleysraglan and @bayleyswaikato.

Gavin and Michelle are pictured here in @ministryofwoodnz's studio in Te Mata, a super cool space.
