Empowering Creativity and Collaboration
Expanding Our Reach
Raw Femme is proud to operate not only as a digital platform spotlighting women and LGBTQ+ creatives, but also as a creative agency working in partnership with cultural institutions, city agencies, and community organizations.
We collaborate with partners like the City of Las Vegas, the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District, and other creative institutions to produce impactful programming, exhibitions, and educational initiatives that center equity, representation, and artist visibility.
Through these partnerships, we offer artist development support and community-centered event production—bridging the gap between underrepresented creatives and the platforms they deserve.
Las Vegas-Clark County Library District
We are committed to fostering artistic growth and cultural enrichment through meaningful community partnerships. Our collaboration with the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District is just one example of how we connect artists with impactful opportunities to share their talents, inspire others, and contribute to vibrant creative ecosystems.
About the Partnership
Raw Femme and the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District are teaming up to provide artists and creatives a platform to lead engaging workshops that enrich our local community. From visual arts and music to fashion, film, and literature, these workshops provide a space for creatives to share their expertise, inspire learners of all ages, and leave a lasting impact on Las Vegas’ cultural landscape.
