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 in person on Saturday, October 11, 4:00–10:00 PM, at Southern Exposure. The Monster Drawing Rally is an incredible evening of art making and fundraising, where 150 local artists create brand-new work right before your eyes. As you spy on the creative process, you’ll see sketches, paintings, and collages morph into full-fledged artworks—immediately available for just $100 each. Plus, additional artwork will be available for purchase at even lower costs!
As part of our commitment to supporting the creative community, 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.
There will be beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages available for 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.
