Drawing Marathon this Friday, November 5

by Sara Bishop

Yikes! Friday is drawing near, what are your plans? Why not come to the Drawing Marathon presented by the Oregon Arts Alliance (OOA) at the OOA Gallery from 5 – 9 p.m.

The Drawing Marathon is a FUNdraiser (emphasis on the fun!) to benefit OOA workshops and exhibitions. Observe artists at work and have the opportunity to own one-of-a-kind pieces of art.

30 artists will be creating drawings in an array of mediums working from still lives, costumed models, including Queen Slugasana, and from imagination. An exquisite corpse (a collective drawing) will also be created.

After a drawing is completed it will be placed on the gallery wall and will be available for purchase for $25. Music from Honest Connie & the 5 Finger Discount will be provided along with solo musicians. Food, drink and merriment are also on the agenda for the evening.

Art supplies are donated by the Creative Store @ U of O. Thank you to our sponsors, Ninkasi Brewing Company, Kent Anderson & Associates, and the Creative Store @ U of O.

See you Friday!
