MDR: Many hands make a light load and Artists Time Slots   05.03.13

Monster Drawing Rally 2012

Thanks to the folks who help make this years Monster Drawing Rally 2013 happen!

Monster Drawing Rally is a live drawing event and fundraiser featuring over 100 artists.

Monster Drawing Rally was conceived by Southern Exposure (SoEx) in San Francisco and has become a national model. SoEx has partnered with many nonprofit arts organizations across he United States to help them establish the Monster Drawing Rally with SoEx's support. SoEx is proud to share their successful fundraising models and community-building strategies with similar artist-centered organizations. Each MDR is run a little different.

For SPACES' MDR we picked 10 "curators " to help us fill the over 100 seats with talented artists.

After the curators' artists have signed up we open it up to the public via an open call. Thanks to all participating artists!
