“Newcastle is a city that we are thrilled to be launching in. There is such an undercurrent of raw creativity in the city just waiting to get out. We think RAW Newcastle will show us a fiercely individual and highly talented creative community”

“This will be the first of three showcases this year in Newcastle and we are expecting it to go off with a bang. We have a put together a fantastic line up of homegrown Newcastle creative talent that we think is going to really impress and excite the audience.”

“There is a new landscape for artists today. Traditional forums and paths for showcasing art have dried up or are not longer proving as effective. RAW is giving emerging artists a platform from which to launch their creative careers in a world where everyone is vying for attention.”
