Draw!

Annual Drawing Jam – Seattle

Saturday, December 1, 2012
Gage Academy of Art, Capitol Hill
Admission: $10 for adults/free for kids and teens

This year’s drawing event at Seattle’s Gage Academy of Art featured studios set up with easels, models in flamboyant costumes, and nude figure models for artists to interpret. Some studios even had live music, to accompany artistic expression.

The experience was mostly self-guided. After checking in, you pick up your instruments of choice from the art-supplies section (I fell in love with an amazing charcoal pencil that I brought home with me); choose the room or studio that calls out to you (e.g., self-portrait room; kids’ rooms, sculpture, etc.); find an empty easel; and start drawing. Or doodling.

We’re putting next year’s Drawing Jam on our calendar as well. We are grateful to all the sponsors and volunteers that made this event possible.
