Last night's Live Drawing output...

A photo of our new Live Art wall, with lots of awesome drawings made at our party last night. Thanks to David Seiler for the photo. Sorry I don't have all the artist credits for this one, but I'll pull together and post some more photos of the event and the art soon.

Live Drawing - Friday January 20

We had a Live Drawing event last month, and it was such a hit, we've decided to make it a regular monthly occurrence, starting this month.

Every Third Thursday from 6-10pm, come hang out with some great local artists, watch them draw, and buy their work right out from under them...drawings are priced super-affordably - from $15-$40, and all the money goes directly to the artists - we take no commission on their work.

Artists will rotate - we'll have a dozen or so at each event. Participating artists include such rockstars as:

Heidi Cregge Cabra . John Casey . David Seiler . Carrie Hall . Alison OK Frost . Maya Kabat . Alex Rosmarin . Nathaniel Parsons . Dave Higgins . Patricia Gillespie . Sarah R. Filley . Obi Kaufmann . Michael McConnel . Alissa Goss . Jon Carling . Alison Tharp . Jake Walting . Matt Decker . Kelly Monson . Forest Stearns . Benjamin Carder . Martin Webb . Scott Greenwalt . Crystal Morey

DJs all night long, starting at 6. Drawing starts at 7.

If you're interested in the creative process, want to collect great inexpensive art, or just want to enjoy some great beer & music and admire the work these folks can make, you'll love this event.

Oakland Art Enthusiast Femme Cartel Photo Spread

Check out oaklandartbeat's photo spread on our Femme Cartel opening!

femme cartel - just two days away...

This is the last batch of preview images from the Femme Cartel show - I'll try to get some photos of folks hanging their art tomorrow night. Remember, the opening is just two days away. Tie a ribbon on your finger, put a note on your fridge - tattoo it on your thigh if you need to. If you forget, you'll be sad after.

Last taste of Femme Cartel for the weekend

Still more coming next week, but we're taking a little art blog break for the weekend...these will have to tide you over for a couple days.

even yet still more Femme Cartel...

There's so much variety in this show. More beautiful images...

More femme cartel sneak preview...

Emily from Femme Cartel has been sending me images for the Cartel show just a couple at a time (what a tease!), but today I have a stack to post. I love this show. I think you will too.

So, don't miss it!

Femme Cartel coming next week - more sneak preview!

We're getting new images from the Femme Cartel, and we'll be posting them every few days as they come in...don't miss the opening party!
