Live drawing event & fundraiser

Monster Drawing Rally 2021

Saturday, October 9, 2021
2-6:30 PM
OUTDOORS: Alabama Street between 19th Street and 20th Street in San Francisco

Combining the energy of a monster truck rally with the creativity and brilliance of the Bay Area art community, Southern Exposure’s annual Monster Drawing Rally is a can’t-miss event. And this year it’s back to being in person Saturday, October 9, 2-6:30 PM.

The Monster Drawing Rally is an incredible afternoon of artmaking and fundraising where over 100 artists create brand new work right before your eyes in a frantic race against the clock. As you spy on the creative process, you’ll see sketches morph into full-fledged artworks – immediately available for just $100 each.

As part of our commitment to support artists during these challenging times, all participating artists have the option to receive up to a 50% commission of the sale, with remaining proceeds going directly to further our work at Southern Exposure.

To support the health and safety of our community, masks are required and COVID safety protocols will be observed.

A DJ will be spinning music for drawing and dancing. Food will be available for purchase, along with delicious beer from our friends at Fort Point.

Monster Drawing Rally Artists, Ciara Kosai and Naomi Hawksley
