There's something truly special about the shows hosted by RAW Adelaide, and I think I know what it is.
When you're in a space, surrounded by the buzzing of hundreds of people who are voluntarily squeezing themselves into room by room slick with sweat, friends, family and strangers all supporting local artists, their hard work, and their dreams.
An exhibition where aspirations and uniqueness are truly celebrated, and artists are commemorated for what they've made and who they are. It's really kinda of heartwarming.
I chatted with five of my favourite artists at the CUSP exhibition, hear more about them and their work below!
CLARE MACPHERSON

Heavy magic tones with a perfectly balanced colour palette and a pinch of insanity.
