Drink & Draw [VIRTUAL]: Drawing Our Alternatives for Chicago’s $1.7 Billion Police Budget
Guest Artists: Ruby Figueroa & Anders Zanichkowsky
Anders Zanichkowsky will lead us in some drawing prompts and Ruby Figueroa will take us through word-mapping exercises to write our way to a different future. Using any drawing, painting, or writing materials that you have on hand, you could make postcards to send to Mayor Lightfoot or your Alderperson, start drafting a larger artwork or poem, or simply use this process to clarify your own thoughts on this issue and have better conversations with friends and family.
To R.S.V.P. e-mail anders@spudnikpress.org.
Zoom Meeting info will be shared prior to the event.
Suggested Materials:
- Drawing or painting materials (pencils, pens, crayons, paints, paper, sketchbooks, fabric, etc.)
- Thicker paper or cardboard for postcards
Drink & Draw [Virtual] is a low-key drop-in social workshop devoted to staying creative from home. There are no pretensions and newcomers are always welcome, so invite your friends to join! Each Drink & Draw [Virtual] features a new guest artist and a new theme or project that uses pencil, paper, and everyday household supplies. Don’t have a sketchbook? Hosts will help you improvise. Events are currently scheduled each Wednesday through May 6. Find us on Zoom, a free app for your phone or computer. And of course: BYOB!
