October 4-October 25, 2012Primitive Edge Gallery’s Art in the Raw

IAIA’s Primitive Edge Gallery will host the annual Art in the Raw student exhibition October 4 – 25 in the gallery in the
Administration Building.

Art in the Raw began in 1999 when IAIA was located on the College of Santa Fe. In response to censorship issues at that time, students from both the IAIA and CSF rebelled against the restrictions in the display of the artworks. Art in the Raw is still continued through student initiative and is the only IAIA exhibit, which is entirely in the hands of IAIA students.

The Art in the Raw exhibition showcases all types of artworks and mediums submitted by IAIA
students. Students have in past years taken this unique opportunity to discuss the changing
continuation of their lives and work, make statements and express their perspectives on
current social, political, environmental concerns. No matter the content, no matter the medium,
no artwork is turned away.
