Yes, it's close to Halloween, but this has nothing to do with drawing actual monsters ...
The event will consist of four one-hour shifts with approximately 25 artists drawing simultaneously each hour. Audiences will have the rare opportunity to watch art come to life and purchase completed drawings for $75 each. Admission is $10 and up.
The event's venue is the historic William D. Davies Memorial Building in Farnsworth Park in Alta Dena, a beautiful depression era landmark dedicated in 1943 and located at 568 East Mount Curve Avenue, Altadena, CA 91001 at the top of Lake Ave.
The event concept, Monster Drawing Rally, was initially developed by Southern Exposure, a San Francisco-based arts organization, in 2001 and has continued to thrive there since. Outpost is pleased to share the concept to Los Angeles' vibrant art scene.
Monster Drawing Rally, a mammoth live drawing and fundraising event featuring 100 artists, and a variety show of music, dance, and performance.
