    CAREFREE DRAWING at THE BENTON
    Friday, June 19 / Noon to 2 pm

    GOT ARTISTIC TALENT?
    We heard some of you say, "No! I can't even draw a straight line."

    No problem! 

    CAREFREE DRAWING at THE BENTON is for everyone. Come doodle, sketch or draw to your heart’s content using the art and architecture around you as inspiration. It's all about having fun and winding down for the weekend. We provide everything you need to draw, or you can bring your own dry materials.   

    Carefree Drawing sessions are noon to 2 pm, every Friday through July 31, except July 3.

    A HEADS UP: This week's session is theme-free, but the following Friday, June 26, the theme is PROTEST POSTERS, where you'll be encouraged to ponder  the posters from our Vietnam War era exhibition and let them spark your own political fire. You can design your own protest poster, depicting anything you feel strongly about, be it human rights or other current issues.
