What an amazing start to our RAW weekend festiviti

What an amazing start to our RAW weekend festivities!
Last night, we had about 140 people attend the exclusive opening of our RAW Preview Exhibition for 2023.
We are so thrilled to have such a festive occasion kickstart our event, and so proud of the mahi the artists have put into their work.

We will be open daily 10am to 2pm until 23 October 2023 so come on down to the @raglanoldschool Arts Centre to see our community's beautiful creativity.
We have had some great sales last night and today, so will be replacing some of those artworks in a week's time with other artworks that you will be able to purchase.
Thanks to everyone who supported us!

Things are starting to ramp up and we are very excited to announce the opening of our PREVIEW EXHIBITION this week!
If you know one of our 65 participating artists, you may want to try and get an invite to our exclusive opening this Thursday at 6.30pm, for artists' friends and family. It's always fun as we watch the red dots go up!
The show will be open to everyone from Friday 29th September 10am.... right through to the end of RAW. Come be inspired, show your support and perhaps bag a special piece. Don't miss our 300x300 show within the Preview Exhibition, which features original artworks for sale at $200, with the proceeds going towards the running of RAW2024.
WOOHOO, WE ARE OFF!

Open daily from 10am - 2pm at the @raglanoldschool Arts Centre, 5 Stewart St from 29 Sept - 23 Oct.

‘The Hatch’ is our three-day exhibition over the Raglan Arts Weekend, centred around nurturing, celebrating and show-casing 16 emerging artists from the Whaingaroa community. It will explore creative expression through a range of mediums and artistic traditions, including acrylic and oil, spray paint, clay, jewellery design, digital design and illustration software.
We are so chuffed to have The Hatch this year, and would not have been able to without the amazing support from @rangitahipeninsula and @waikatodistrictcouncil's creative communities grant. Thank you!

8 of the 16 artists from The Hatch are:
Lisa Mills @voluptuous.panic
Bridget Pride @bridgetpride
Finley Elder @solivagant_studios_
Ailene Cuthbertson @oldmountainart
Zasha Skye @zashaskye
Pat Day
Arlene Maidment
Josh Olsen @_lucidjewellery

See these artists and more at the Raglan Town Hall over the Raglan Arts Weekend. They will be exhibiting from 10am until 5pm. The Hatch Opening Night will be on the Friday 20th at 6.30pm - everyone welcome.

Two more of our RAW 2023 painters are long time Raglan artists Hayley Hamilton and Jane Galloway.
Hayley and Jane are holding a collaborative exhibition 'FLORA' at the Artists at Work Gallery - opening is this Friday 15th September at 5pm. The show runs until the 30th September. Be sure to check it out if you are in Raglan!

Also - be sure to check out Karin Bettley's exhibition this Friday too from 5pm at Studeo, 21 Cross Street.
'Breathwork' runs until 29 September and includes sculptural works by Karin, one of our clay ceramicists within RAW.

So that's a double whammy of two great exhibition openings to kickstart your weekend!
