Drink and Doodle Fort Myers!!
Friday September 28th @ French Connection in Downtown Fort Myers
10 Artist will gather around one table
to create new pieces of art with an edgy flair. All artists will have the same
size of paper but will be allowed to use whatever media they choose to create their own piece. At
the end of the event, all art work will go up for sale for $50 each. Each artist
will also have their artwork displayed throughout French Connection as well. The
art work will be on sale and will also give guests a great example of each
artist's diverse style.
This event is a great way to promote local artists that may not be prominent
in our area and also bring about some new styles of art. The Fort Myers art
scene is growing rapidly. By bringing together local artists, with styles that have become popular in areas such as Miami, San Francisco and NYC, an unseen new flavor
of art is about to be unleashed downtown.
At this event the public is welcome and encouraged to come. The public may converse with the artists as well as watch. Many of these
artists have their work in galleries downtown and people's homes, but collectors
never get to see them actually work. This event brings the creative process to
the public eye and welcomes everyone to witness this profound process.
Future plans will be for "Drink and Doodle" to become a monthly event.
Using a new location each month, such as Arts for Act, Wallace Gallery and
Alliance for the Arts. All of which expressing interest in hosting this event
for future dates. Artists will change monthly as well, to keep a new vibe each
gathering.
The inspiration for this event came from one of my favorite artist Ash Lethal and ABV gallery in
Atlanta.
