My instincts are wrong for this. Watching artists draw in a bar seems a little like watching animals in a zoo. Paul Simon thinks they love it if you do, but there’s room for doubt. From an impeccable source I once heard of a monkey in Sacramento who’d hold a mouthful of water while doing a little dance. After a crowd had gathered around his cage, he’d soak as many as he could reach with his soggy calling card.
Seattle painter Robert Hardgrave created Drum of the Draw to be a bridge between artists and audiences. Participants tonight at Grey Gallery include Joel Astley, Rachel Maxi, Julie Alpert, Diane Calhoun (wrong in gallery material) Culhane, Patricia Hagen, Daniel Mitchell, Joseph Keppler, Brian Cypher, Michael McGovern and of course Hardgrave tonight, 5 to 9 pm.
All artwork will be available for purchase, and will be priced from $20- $200.
Grey Gallery is a lounge and stocks a full bar and menu, so come join us!

Even though this event is over, it was very cool to watch artists are work, I thought that I would mention that Diane’s last name is Culhane.
Hi Regina,
As one of the artists last night, I totally enjoyed the experience. I met some artists I hadn’t previously known, had a nearby gallery owner stop by to chat and invite me to visit her gallery, AND actually sold some work. As with most artists, I usually work in solitude, so it is a nice change to occasionally work in a group like this, and in this economy, making some money on top of the enjoyable experience doesn’t hurt!
