This time of year, Phoenicians are all about orange blossoms and junior proms. It’s the season when puppy love is in the air and overdressed teens grind on the dance floor of some cheesy hotel ballroom.
The over-21 crowd, thankfully, has other options — for example, the monthly independent arts showcases hosted by RAW: Phoenix, the local branch of a national artists’ collective. The events spotlight up-and-coming visual artists whose work transforms the downtown Ghost Lounge into a gallery for the night.
The entertainment lineup at April’s RAW: “Unearthed” event includes musical guests ShouTheory and Oxy the Moron, a runway show, DJs Alkemé and Sac Fly, and performance artist iAm Jones, who organizer Tia Oso describes as a “hip-hop generation Teddy Pendergrass.”

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
