RAW Brisbane: Encompass

Overview

RAW started in the US, migrated to Australia and has been providing steady platform to some of our most ambitious emerging artists to date. And while the term ‘emerging’ may be a tenuous, lazy label to throw on someone with a Joy Division tattoo or a Soundcloud, this creative group have filtered down the best to provide a healthy crop of local talent.

Encompass is their latest instalment of said talent, and promises dozens of acts, names and talents who will humbly show off the craft they’ve made a life perfecting. Music-wise, songstress Deena, pop-friends Go Van Go and easy listening equines Bad Pony will be providing the tunes. Visual art by Jessie Bird, Scott Hynd and Erin Michelle – plus a heaped handful more – will be on display for all those with an eye for skill. Live make-up displays, film by Mikey Hill, as well as a photography and fashion showcase (pictured: clothing label, Hunting Faith) will be adding to this big bang of artistic explosion.

Tickets are $15 pre-sale, so get in quick and discover what’s up and coming in our local creative scene.
