Join us on November 14th at 1015 Folsom as we vote for the 9 Artists of the Year to represent San Francisco at the RAWards in Hollywood for best in the nation! 400 RAW SF artists. 38 Semi-Finalists. 9 San Francisco Artists of the Year. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: If you think a "typical" RAW SF event is boundary pushing, just WAIT until you see what these 38 cutting edge artists have in store for you at the RAWards! This event will be like no other we've thrown yet. Get ready for an overdose of exhilarating art, fashion, music! "Raw SF's made quite the name for itself as a monthly that showcases the latest in independent and underground artistic talent. Whether it's showcasing the hottest looks, bassiest beats or sickest art, this collective is definitely driven by natural ability." -nitevibe.com "Art crawls and gallery parties may be synonymous with Friday nights, but RAW SF's monthly art showcase re-institutes Thursday as the new Friday. Leveraging the concept of "power in numbers," each month RAW SF packs 1015 Folsom with the work of over 50 emerging and established Bay Area artists — along with aerialists, burlesque performers, DJs, vendors, roaming photographers, body painters, and some 750 partiers. And that's all before the after-party." -Flavorpill +++++FASHIONABLE ATTIRE+++++ This event sold out last year so get your pre-sales early! $15 online// $20 at the door http://www.rawartists.org/sanfrancisco/rawards2012 ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Featuring: Visual Art :: Photography :: Balloon Art :: Burlesque :: Aerialists :: Body Painted Vixens :: Live Painting :: 4 Runway Shows highlighting Fashion, Makeup, Hair and Accessories :: Film :: Music :: VIP Photobooth :: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: INDUSTRY JUDGES: **VERONICA CHRISTINA & NICO JOHANNA** CO-FOUNDERS OF SEX AND DESIGN MAGAZINE http://sexanddesign.com/ http://www.facebook.com/sexanddesign?fref=ts **ALEXIA OGLE** CO-FOUNDER OF FAUX LASH http://fauxlash.com/ http://www.facebook.com/fauxlash?fref=ts **MARIE MCCARTHY** OWNER OF FIAT LUX BOUTIQUE + ROSE GOLD'S TATTOO & BODY PIERCING PARLOUR http://fiatluxsf.com/ http://www.facebook.com/fiatluxsanfrancisco?fref=ts ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: 2012 Nominees for Artists of the Year: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: VISUAL ART: LAURA GONZALEZ http://www.rawartists.org/lauragr920 BRANDON HURLEY http://www.rawartists.org/brandonhurley ASHLEY BELL http://www.rawartists.org/ashleybell JOON PARK http://www.rawartists.org/novemberpark89 CHESSA http://www.rawartists.org/chessa ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FASHION DESIGN: HONEY COOLER HANDMADE http://www.rawartists.org/honeycoolerhandmade PETRA O http://www.rawartists.org/petra808 GARDEN PARTY gardenpartysf GORILLA WORKSHOP http://www.rawartists.org/jpniemuth KRAKEN WHIP http://www.rawartists.org/krakenwhip ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ACCESSORY DESIGN: DEE.FIND http://www.rawartists.org/deefind MICHAEL MARX http://www.rawartists.org/unsaneart LE PETIT HAT COMPANY http://www.rawartists.org/lepetithatco AYA http://www.rawartists.org/ayakasper BENEDUCI SHOEMAKERS http://www.rawartists.org/beneducicom ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FILM: CHRISTIAN MARQUEZ http://www.rawartists.org/beatlebum87 KATELIN ARIZMENDI http://www.rawartists.org/katearizmendi ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: HAIR: JUSTIN JAY http://www.rawartists.org/ilovejustinjay SONJA ECKRE http://www.rawartists.org/http-www-sonjaeckre-com ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: MAKEUP: COURTNEY'S GLAM http://www.rawartists.org/courtneyhurleysuccess GENERATION JEN http://www.rawartists.org/generationjen PRIYA http://www.rawartists.org/http-www-facebook-com-pages-makeup-by-priya-139632426066642 JESSICA FRASER http://www.rawartists.org/fraserart ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: MUSIC: GIRAFFAGE http://www.rawartists.org/giraffage MOCHIPET http://www.rawartists.org/mochipet DEEP CITY CULTURE http://www.rawartists.org/deepcityculture B.LEWIS http://www.rawartists.org/blewis INSIGHTFUL http://www.rawartists.org/insightful ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: PERFORMING ART: DANTE http://www.rawartists.org/magicdante SANTA CRUZ SIRENS http://www.rawartists.org/sirensburlesque LIVE PAINTER http://www.rawartists.org/livepainter MADAMN BURNZ http://www.rawartists.org/madamnburnz ROSE THE BODY PAINTER http://www.rawartists.org/rosethebodypainter ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: PHOTOGRAPHY: LAUREN CASSIDY http://www.rawartists.org/laurencassidy JOE ENRIGHT http://www.rawartists.org/joeenrightphotography JESSIE EDWARDS http://www.rawartists.org/jessieedwards ANTONETTE STREETER http://www.rawartists.org/antonettestreeter MARIA KANEVSKAYA http://www.rawartists.org/kmusiy ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: NON-STOP BEATS n' BOOMS BY MATT HAZE http://soundcloud.com/matthaze HOSTED BY JOE MOUSEPAD http://soundcloud.com/joemousepad http://www.facebook.com/joemousepad With Special Guest: **SLAYERS CLUB DJ'S** http://www.facebook.com/slayersclub Slayers Club, known for throwin' & rockin' some of the Bay Area's biggest and baddest parties, is a collective of DJs, producers, MCs, visual artists, designers, and other creatives.
