Welcome to Raw Canvas... cafe, lounge, studio, gallery, inspiration. We are a gathering point for life-loving humans (artists and non-artists alike) to express themselves freely within the creative process. We are a soul-driven company that supports the cultivation and realization of the artist within, while building community and celebrating life in all of its diversity.

Raw Canvas is an extraordinary social destination built on a vision of unbounded beauty in this world...and you are the creator. Come in, buy a canvas, grab some paints and get free. Our cafe celebrates the finer things in life: Crema sits golden thick upon perfect espresso. Pastries perfected by Thomas Haas. Sublime tapas and living foods to feed the soul.  Driven by the belief in the power of every individual’s unique creative expression, we are a place where people gather to share ideas and sentiment in order to deepen individual expression and amplify collective ideals.

We are the renaissance; coffee, food, art, music, poetry, love, community… many things to many people. Raw Canvas will revolutionize the way you socialize.

Take a deep breath, sit down, make yourself at home. If the mood strikes, grab a smock and make your way into the painting pit. Buy a blank canvas, we will provide the paint, brushes and everything you'll need to free your inner artist. Our crew, together with our resident artists, will provide encouragement, insight and inspiration to aid you throughout your creative journey.
