Event
Drink + Draw Fundraiser for Astoria Food Pantry
*NOTE: This event has been postponed from its original date. The new event date in Tuesday, December 7th. Thank you for your patience!*
Join us for an experimental, welcoming and community-filled live figure drawing event! All ticket proceeds will go towards Astoria Food Pantry - a community space in Astoria shared with local mutual aid projects to engage in direct aid, activism, and social services, such as providing free, nutritious food to neighbours. Everybody is welcome to the event! No previous figure drawing experience is necessary.
During this two-hour event, we will have four amaaaazing models posing in a variety of ways. The event will take place in person (with limited capacity) and live-streamed on Zoom. More info below!
IN PERSON:
The event will take place at Astoria Food Pantry at 25-82 Steinway Street. Drawing materials will be available, but feel free to bring your own favourite mark-making tools! Tickets for the event are sliding scale at $15-25, which includes one free drink.
ONLINE:
The event will take place on Zoom, with the link being sent upon registration. Bring your favourite drawing materials and drinks! Halfway through and at the end of the event, you will be invited to share your work with other attendees (optional!). Suggested ticket prices are $10-25.
100% of ticket sales will be donated to Astoria Food Pantry (AFP). AFP is entirely funded through individual donations: "We don't receive support from the government, and we don't receive any money from grants or food from any major food banks. This independence allows us to not require anyone to show an ID or answer questions about their household, allowing us to serve everyone in our community, even if we don't speak their language or if they want to keep their information private." You can find out more about the necessary mutual aid and food justice work they do at www.astoriafoodpantry.com.
As we begin to close out the year, let's make marks together and support one another through local mutual aid initiatives!
If you have any access needs or questions, feel free to email organizers Lexy and Cody at lexyhotai@gmail.com and/ or seeyewnewyork@gmail.com.
Spread the word + hope to see you there!
