The popular live drawing event and fundraiser sells out fast! Last year, 800 people attended to spy on the creative process of over 70 artists, purchase local art, enjoy local beer and food trucks, and make art of their own at an interactive art project.

Artists at all stages of their careers draw for an hour in front of a live audience, bringing their private studio practices to the public. Spectators watch as sketches morph into full-fledged works of art right in front of their eyes.

Completed drawings are immediately transferred to a gallery wall, where spectators can purchase them for $50 each. Proceeds support Museum programming.

Artists use a variety of mediums (collage, watercolor, ink, and graphite), ensuring an eclectic selection of art for sale. Last year, some artists brought in props or even sketched models from the audience.

Artists drew (and the audience grooved) to tunes spun by local DJ Forge.

Spectators inspired by the Monster Drawing Rally artists could make art themselves, participating in an interactive public art project sponsored by Flight Fund (a citizen-organized fund designed to propel creative urban projects).

Artists and visitors enjoyed a variety of food trucks and local beer to refuel during the lively evening.
