Monsters: They Are A-Rallying

Art you can afford? Art you can watch being created? Nope, we are not talking about one of those boardwalk artists that will do a caricature of you for $10, and leave you wondering if your ears really are that big. Nascent artworks for $50 bucks each are to be had this Friday night at Southern Exposure’s 5th annual Monster Drawing Rally. A hundred local artists take turns spinning out affordable master pieces. As soon as an artwork is completed, you have a chance to buy it for a relative pittance. It's definitely a good way to jump start your art collection-- especially considering some of the big names that have passed through the rally over the years. SFist is till a little miffed at the Mars-1 drawing we passed up a few years back. Get there early, pay your 5 bucks (suggested donation), and hang out for the night. All the proceeds go to support Southern Exposure, which, as you all know by now, SFist loves. SFist be doing our part, and will have a little booth in the loft to make wearable art, so make sure to stop by and say hi.

401 Alabama Street. Friday. 6-10 pm
