Do you feel like you need to build, create, learn, and make? Flip the switch, turn it on, and build it at The Brickyard Collaborative. They have everything you need to make your ideas come to life – from woodworking, 3D printing, CNC machining, and rapid prototyping all the way to digital imaging, textiles, forge work, and even traditional boatbuilding.

Raw Art Works
37 Central Square, Lynn, MA 01901
Check out RAW’s space and their 2024 Student Exhibition “UNFILTERED!” from 10 am – 2 pm

UNFILTERED is a response to the growing fear among youth of being judged for their true selves. With the constant pressure to conform to a narrow definition of acceptability, many young people feel compelled to hide parts of who they are. This year, RAW is challenging this paradigm. They believe that what might be deemed “cringey” by societal standards are, in fact, badges of authenticity. UNFILTERED encourages youth to showcase their unique qualities and stand out with pride, reinforcing that there is immense strength in showing up as your whole self.

Enjoy a take-home art piece inspired by the exhibition!
