Draw: it’s almost here!

We’re setting up today for tomorrow’s sixth annual Draw—and it’s going to be a great one.

With a vinyl collage wall, drawing games and a late-night party, it’s going to an awesome Saturday at Latitude 53, Harcourt House and SNAP.

On the roster of events:

• A kite-making workshop hosted by SNAP, with access to their arsenal of printmaking tools and expertise from 12-5pm

• Figure drawing—both clothed and au naturel—at Harcourt House, with a chance to contribute to two exquisite corpse drawing projects

• A collage, vinyl and drawing party here at Latitude 53 from noon to midnight

• Music at Latitude 53 from Stanley and The Extraterrestrials and DJ Sarah Patterson

• A scratch-animation workshop by FAVA at Latitude 53 from 8-11pm

• Also don’t miss the very special opening performance of Saturday Mornings, The Diner, with artists Sarah Fuller, Lia Rogers and Lindsay MacDonald serving coffee and reminiscence diner-style, clad in cafe costumes

So yes—it’s going to be a wonderful day celebrating art and community. As our program assistant Chelsea Boida stated in a recent interview about Draw in Vue Magazine :

“It really changes how you think about drawing: often it’s a private activity, you don’t feel that same sort of risk when you’re doing it in front of people. But here, I think it helps, because a lot of people are taking risks together, and hopefully it ends up working out collaboratively, and whether that’s a low level of collaboration—having a haphazard drawing next to somebody else’s—or if the drawings actually end up interacting.”

Hope to see you there!
