Piers Midwinter (U.K)
"The
artist Piers Midwinter is the creator and director of Raw Art
Link and the Raw Arts Festivals. He believes that it's important to
stay true
to oneself as an artist and that Raw Art
(Outsider/Self-taught/Visionary art
etc.) comes closest to expressing this. Midwinter has been interested
in Raw
Art since 1989 and in 2001 he set up Raw Art Link in order to create a
website
which contained links to all the things that interested him. It was
probably
the first web portal dedicated to such a task. Since then it has become
one of
the world's premier Raw Art websites leading to setting up events like
the
first Raw Arts Festival in 2004 http://www.rawartsfestival.co.uk/ that
became London's largest and best International exhibition of
self-taught art mounted to date. Midwinter is currently planning a 2005
Raw
Arts Festival in London http://www.raf2005.co.uk/
".
