We first told you about this event HERE; and while it’s just a bit too late to sign up to run in the race to raise money, you can show up to raise some cheer for the participants! This event is a fundraiser for the Park City Education Foundation.
Wake & Draw VII
Saturday, May 19 → 10AM – 1PM
Kimball Art Center
Adults 18 years and older are invited to spend a few hours in the Wake & Draw class in the Kimball Art Center studio. A figure model is provided, but everything else is up to you, so grab an easel or a pad of paper and your preferred drawing tool. No instructor is present, so it’s suggested that participants have a bit of figure drawing experience. Because space is limited to 10 students, it’s recommended you register in advance. The class is $15 (BYO materials).
Wake & Draw is meant to be a creative meeting place for artistic people to share their techniques and skills in a community setting.
