RAW:natural born artists is an events services company based in Altadena, California, that supports independent creators across multiple disciplines. It offers PLATFORM by RAW Artists, a program that equips creative entrepreneurs with the means to run their own event showcases and cultivate connections within arts communities, described as a model similar to franchising, but with greater creative control. The organization fosters an alternative, expressive format for presenting work beyond traditional art shows, emphasizing bold visuals and participant-led experiences. The company's mission centers on providing tools, resources, education, and exposure to help independent artists develop their careers, with focus on fields including visual art, film, fashion and accessories design, music, performance art, beauty, crafts, tech, and photography. RAW positions itself within the events services industry as a platform that highlights emerging talent and enables both local and wider audiences to engage with arts. A notable development in 2023 was a partnership with Yo Bendigo to support the Ambedo Award during the RAW Arts Awards, illustrating collaboration with partner organizations.
