Gage Academy of Art’s Annual Drawing Jam is this Saturday. It’s an all-day creativity fest where amateurs and more serious artist-types collaborate in an art-supplied playland. They even give you models! This is the tenth year for the event. Tickets are $10 for adults and kids and teens get in free. More from information sent to us by Gage below.

10th Annual Drawing Jam Features Stars of Seattle
Hundreds of artists will attend the 10th Annual Drawing Jam at Gage Academy of Art. From 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday, December 5, Gage hosts this 12-hour art making celebration. Last year 950 people of all ages participated, packing into studios and creating artwork in every nook and cranny in the school.
This is such a popular and exciting event that in 2008 Seattle Magazine named the Drawing Jam the #1 Must Attend Event in December!
More than 50 models will pose throughout the day including special “Stars of Seattle” guests: a performer from the current production of Teatro ZinZanni, entertainer Sylvia O’Stayformore, and King County Councilmember Larry Gossett.
Gage teaching artists will give artists demonstrations, including popular local artists Kimberly Trowbridge, Gary Faigin, Michael Lane and Geoff Flack. Even more musicians, entertainers and professional models will pose throughout the day. Other highlights include free art supplies, dedicated spaces for kids and teens, a sculpting studio and new exhibitions.

Spending $10 to kick me back into a drawing habit sounds pretty good!
