Get naked

Each month Raw, a national indie arts organization, presents a showcase in different cities for the region’s up-and-coming filmmakers, photographers and artists, fashion designers and hair stylists, musicians and deejays. Raw:Sacramento takes place Thursday, August 16, with two fashion shows, a visual-art gallery, film screenings and more. Some of the featured names include singer-songwriter James Cavern (pictured), DJ Hi Lo, artist Lady Tatian and the ’50s-inspired fashion designer Swanky. Best of all—the cost of your ticket directly benefits the artist of your choice.8 p.m., $10, 21 and over; Miami Beach Club, 7942 Arcadia Drive in Citrus Heights; www.rawartists.org/sacramento.
