RAWTHENTIC is a mantra of honest connection & interaction. As facades fall away we have an opportunity to let shine the true colors of our inner flames. Our open call invites artists to present their purest sense of expression in any medium. By building up each others’ vulnerable, natural desires we forge sustainable, RAWTHENTIC bonds. Create deep wells of understanding and possibility with a sensitive unmasking of experiences. Join us for a gnarly ride of unfiltered vibes! Curated by Alissa Christine, CODAME is excited for your transparent exploration of physical and metaphysical realities. What inspiration can your deepest mysteries reveal?Anyone is welcome to participate, and you can sign up individually or as a team. When you register, you will receive invites to a matchmaking event where you can meet other artists, or find others to create a team.
