As part of our commitment to supporting artists, all participating artists have the option to receive up to a 50% commission of the sale, with remaining proceeds going directly to furthering our work at Southern Exposure.

Early bird bonus: The first 50 people to purchase tickets for our 2023 Monster Drawing Rally will receive a new, limited-edition print by acclaimed artist Cathy Lu, for free! Ticket purchasers after the initial 50 will have the option to add-on a print for $20.

DJs will be spinning music for drawing and dancing all afternoon long. Food and beer will be available to purchase. This family-friendly event is a celebration of the creativity and ingenuity of the Bay Area art community. A kids art-making table will be available for all the budding artists.

COVID protocols: Masking is optional; free masks will be provided.
Accessibility: The Lab is an ADA accessible venue. There are two gender-neutral bathroom areas with ADA accessible toilets. Main gallery is up one flight of stairs. Working elevator is operable at request. Seating will be provided. We will have two air purifiers operating in the space. A written description of the event is available. 
Getting there: Located on 16th St, just off Mission St, The Lab is close to BART and many MUNI bus lines. As The Lab does not own any parking, no dedicated parking is available for this event. 

For any additional requests or concerns around accessibility, please contact [email protected], and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Please note that as this is a fundraising event, ticket purchases are non-refundable. Thank you for your support of Southern Exposure! For more information about our work, visit soex.org
