Digital Drink + Draw
I began organizing a monthly Digital Drink + Draws during the start of the Covid-19 lockdowns through Flux Factory’s online programming. This is a relaxed space for folks to gather and make marks. Every Drink + Draw features four incredible artist models, whom really push figure drawing modeling into experimental, playful and surprising realms. It has been a wonderful and weird space to collectively create and express. Drink + Draws usually take place on the second or third Tuesday of each month, from 7-9:30pm EST. Follow at @lexymakesthings or @flux_factory on instagram for upcoming dates.
FAQs:
Q: Where does it take place?
A: Good ole’ Zoom! Links will be sent upon registration.
Q: Is it okay if I come late for the Drink + Draw?
A: Yes! The event is ‘drop-in’ style, so come through any time between 7-9:30pm. Stay for as long as you can!
Q: Do we have to share our drawings?
A: Not at all! In between sets, we spent about 5 minutes sharing our drawings (i.e. holding them up to the screen and being spotlit). It’s a very supportive environment, as folks often say encouraging words about the drawings. However, this is totally optional - if you’d prefer not to share, that is absolutely okay!
Q: Is it free?
A: Yes! If you’re in the position to support, we do have a $5-20 suggested donation, which goes towards tipping the models. All the models are volunteering their time, so this is very appreciated. However, no one is turned away due to lack of funds, and you can show gratitude to the models in other ways: sharing your drawings, following their creative practices, etc. As of February 2021, 15% of donations will go towards Flux Factory. Thank you for supporting artists and art spaces!
