RAW ART FAIR
RAW is a new art event in the city of Rotterdam. Young, fresh and different-that is how it will be! RAW offers its visitors, gallerists, artists and collectors a completely revisited art fair experience. The fair will take place from the 8th to the 12th of February 2012 simultaneously with the established Art Rotterdam and Object Rotterdam on 700m walking distance.
RAW Art Fair will be held at the FENIX Hangar 1 in Katendrecht, located in just 700m walking distance from the Cruise Terminal where Art Rotterdam and Object Rotterdam will take place. Next to the galleries segment and the individual artists program we offer a peripheral program of dance and music performances, live bands and much more, making this a multifaceted event.
With 10,000 m2 of space RAW is going to be BIG! The ground floor of the exhibition space will be dedicated to established and emerging international galleries, whereas the first floor will be offered to artists, who would like to exhibit their works autonomously. RAW will be the first art fair to offer artists the possibility to show sculptures and objects independently at an EXPO next to an art fair. Alongside the art presentations, RAW will deliver a program of events at a specially designed area, where the guests could enjoy theatre and music performances, DJ’s and parties. This area will also include a bar and catering service with delicious food- a terminal for art talks, reflections and new ventures.
Contrary to the official art fair model, RAW will cater to the younger audience and provide a less formal ground where art could be cultivated, appreciated and loved! In few words we aim for outstanding art, unique experience, and nice atmosphere! For all of you who love art, and would like to experience it in a creative and friendly atmosphere-RAW will be the place!
