Across time and cultures, artists have wielded their tools—brushes, words, movement, songs, performance, film, and more—to reflect the human experience, push boundaries, build bridges, and call for change. At RAW, we believe that the arts are not just a reflection of the world but a force that shapes its future.

About SEEN • HEARD • AMPLIFIED

We are so excited to announce our 2025 Art Week theme: Seen, Heard, Amplified. This theme is all about turning up the volume on youth voices and shining a spotlight on what is important to them. These young artists use their creativity as a powerful tool to uncover truths, confront injustice, and imagine new possibilities through their art. Artists were asked what they feel needs to be seen and heard, and how they want to bring their unique voices to help amplify that.
