Art Wed Jul 16 2008
Fetch a Sketch
Wed., July 30 marks the kick-off for the BCD Collaborative's Atomic Sketch Event: a new, monthly evening of live art-making by both established and emerging artists of various disciplines, held at Wicker Park nightspot Evil Olive. As the evening passes, finished works go up on the sale wall and remain there until the next Event. And even if you're not in the panel of six-eight artists featured -- this month's panelists are Melanie Lieb, Thomas Sinnamond, Ethan Hutchinson, David Johnson, Kyle Francis Harter and Ivan Mihov -- you can still drop by with your art supplies and make items to hang and sell.
"With Atomic Sketch, we're hoping to help demystify the art-making process for beginner artists as well as collectors," says BCD Collaborative co-founder Brian Hofmeister. "We're also interested in building a community in the Chicago art scene that's based on having fun." Fun indeed -- most pieces will cost for less than $100, which means you can buy some art without breaking your beer budget.
6-9 p.m. 1551 W. Division St.
