RAW: work outside the edge

RAW is an exhibition opportunity at Nelson's Refinery ArtSpace for artists who may not fit into a traditional, academic or commercial gallery context. Entry is free and open to anyone currently living in New Zealand who has not undertaken formal or traditional art training. 

This exhibition celebrates the diverse talents of these artists. It is presented by Arts Council Nelson in collaboration with Refinery ArtSpace, and runs from 15 December 2025 to 24 January 2026. 

Artists may submit up to three pieces of work. Work must be the artist’s own design and execution and must arrive by Friday 12 December 2025.
