Dear sir/Madam,

> Please can you post details of this……
>
> August 2004 sees the birth of a brand new 'Raw Art Festival'. This is
> London's first festival to focus solely on Outsider Art. Raw or
> 'Outsider art' includes
> Folk/Intuitive/Marginalised/Self-taught/Visionary art. The festival
> aims
> to bring together both organisations and artists in the 'Outsider art'
> field. It also aims to give each participant good value for money by
> providing a cheap entry fee and a reasonable space to exhibit their
> art.
> The festival has received publicity in Raw Vision magazine (Issue no:
> 45, page 6) and is due to get more. It should thus attract a large
> amount of interest.
>
>
>
> The event will be held at the Candid Arts Trust. Candid has had many
> years of experience in organising exhibitions and has run over 20
> major Art and Design Fairs at both the Chelsea Town Hall and the
> Business Design Centre. The Trust organises mixed shows for Art &
> Design Graduates in order to provide graduates with more exposure and
> the opportunity to sell their work, gain commissions and employment.
> It is hoped that holding the Raw Arts Festival at the Candid Arts
> Trust will provide exhibiting participants with a similar level of
> exposure and opportunity. It is also hoped that the private view day
> will showcase art events of some description e.g. discussions on
> Outsider Art etc.

> The Festival is being organised by Piers Midwinter. Piers is an
