I’m a fan of attending art galleries to look at paintings hanging on the walls. I’m a bigger fan of watching artists create works of art right in front of my eyes. Maybe that is because it is so rare to have the opportunity watch the creative process unfold. To see the finished work is wonderful, but to see an artist working is inspiring.
On Wednesday February 27, Hallwalls will be hosting a Live Drawing Rally in Asbury Hall at Babeville. That is where 36 artists will draw for two 45 minute sessions, upon which time the audience will have a chance to bid on silent auctions, with the starting price of every work of art starting at $39.
This is an unusual opportunity to acquire affordable and original works of art. It’s also an easy way to support Hallwalls.
Doors open at 7pm. Admission is $5. Drawing begins at 7:15pm. Cash bar. DJ Arson Daily. Wine tasting table. Bring your friends to A Mid Winter’s Draw, and enjoy the surroundings of splendid architecture, while you follow the creations of some of the area’s most talented artists.
