Art Week 2026

This May, RAW is celebrating Art Week with The Real to Reel FilmSchool Screening on Tuesday, May 26th, and the Exhibit Opening + Block Party on Thursday, May 28th! RAW youth, staff, families, friends, and the greater Lynn community are invited to gather together for a memorable week to celebrate everything RAW + to send off our Seniors through a graduation ceremony. Both events are free and open to the public.

This year’s theme: Undercurrents

Undercurrents invites us to notice what moves beneath the surface of who we are, how we relate, and the world we inhabit. Like tides, roots, and mycelium networks, unseen forces shape our thoughts, our actions, and our connections to others long before they surface. This is a space to honor silence, witness tension, and recognize the courage it takes to let something rise to the surface and be known.

Through these works, we see how personal experience, collective memory, and cultural forces intertwine. What we hold inside, what we create, and how we connect ripple outward, shaping our communities and the world. Undercurrents asks us to acknowledge and give space to what is already there that is shaping our relationship to self, each other and the world.
