About this event
I am unable to attend the Mothman festival because you have to book hotels a year in advance, so I'm making us draw cryptids. Artists will start gathering at 10am in the VMFA cafe (we’ll have a sign) where we'll chat and socialize while waiting for everyone to arrive. At 10:30, we will shut up and make art. Afterwards, we'll debrief before adjourning. Out of respect for museum policy, you may only use graphite in the galleries. NOTE: 1\. If you bring a large backpack\, the museum will require you to wear it on your front\. It's recommended you travel light\. 2\. VMFA allows guests to check out and use artist stools from the coat check station\. Seating can be sparse in certain galleries\. 3\. No liquids in the galleries\.
