DRAW-OFF BALLS OUT

Man I hope someone brings us some snacks...



The Draw Off
March 8 : Noon to midnight
Competition has always been an intrinsic part of the art world. Whether it is between Brunelleschi and Ghiberti battling for the commission for the doors of the Florence Cathedral Baptistery or Picasso and Braque duking it out to see who could “father” the cubist movement first, the element of contest has created some of the greatest artistic works of our time.
Heeding this competitive tradition, eleven Atlanta artists will simultaneously create new works on the walls of Eyedrum during a twelve hour period. The artists will work side by side using mediums only restricted by that which can be attached to the wall. Combining elements of fine art and performance will create a spontaneous and collaborative climate for the artists to work within. The collaborative element will be between both the artists sharing a work environment and the audience that will be watching and experiencing the drawing process.

Participating artists:
Maxwell Sebastian
Mandie Turner Mitchell
TINDEL-MICHI
George and Silas Long
Jesse Cregar and Sarah Emerson
Lydia Walls
Leuwam Tesfai and Meghan McNeer
Mario Schambon

Closing Day : April 19
