Here at Riff Raff,

We believe that there’s art in the everyday—the people are what make it beautiful. That’s why we want you.

So many ordinary people and their work get buried beneath algorithms, trends, headlines, and whatever the internet decides matters for five minutes. That’s why we created Riff Raff.

We know how defeating it can feel to pour something out of yourself just for it to disappear into the abyss of submissions, feeds, and endless scrolling.

Riff Raff wants the everyday, the different, and the new. We want to showcase your talented best friend, your favorite local band, the photographers, writers, artists, and everyday poets that too often go unseen.

We created Riff Raff for the people who don’t fit neatly anywhere else. The ones making things quietly while the internet rewards whoever screams the loudest. The ones with something real to say, even if they’ve never had a place to say it.

If you’ve made something honest, strange, emotional, ugly, beautiful, unfinished, chaotic, or painfully human, send it in.

That’s the kind of art we care about.
