Sometimes our relationships (and life in general) can be a bit barbaric\, awkward\, unassuming\, or crude. Our portrait-themed Drink & Draw embraces drawing as a way to capture a simple\, honest\, authentic\, whimsical\, and unfiltered impression of those we love. \nGrab a photo of a person or creature you really really really like (a crush\, a lover\, a life partner\, a furry friend\, your childhood hermit crab\, a personal hero\, your best bud). Immortalize their face in a collection of candid doodles. \nGuest illustrator and humorist\, Grace Makuch\, will guide our guests through fun projects that co-opt office supplies (Sharpies and index cards) to create simple little portraits that are perfect to send as a valentine\, a postcard\, or secret note. \nGrace Makuch is an artist\, printmaker\, and genius living in Chicago\, Illinois. She is interested in the intersection of two-dimensional art and comedy\, and her work often reflects themes of humor and sadness. Makuch is an alumni of the Spudnik Press Studio Fellowship Program and has experience working in various printmaking techniques. \n\nDrink and Draw is a low-key drop-in social workshop devoted to drawing practices. There are no pretensions\, no prerequisites\, and newcomers are always welcome. Bring a sketchbook and basic drawing materials\, and invite your friends! Drink & Draw occurs the first Wednesday of every other month and features a special theme and a guest artist. Admission to Drink & Draw is a $10 suggested donation. The event is BYOB\, but we do have some wine and beer available with a donation.

Last year our members picked out a new paper soaking tray\, a book cradle\, and a thermal binder. Plus they raised funds to purchase a new exposure unit too! Exciting\, right? \nIn addition to getting to contribute to the planning of our 2018 Equipment Fund\, staff will share insider information on a new Professional Practices program just for members. We’ll invite members to share their goals for our studio. The evening will culminate with a light art-making project or a artist presentation by a fellow member of our studio. \nAnd as always\, beer is provided! \nPlease RSVP to marcela@spudnikpress.org.\nNot currently a member? Join Spudnik Press Cooperative URL:https://www.spudnikpress.org/event/winter-2018-member-meeting/ CATEGORIES:Member Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.spudnikpress.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/2018-11-November-Member-Meeting.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20180224T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20180224T210000 DTSTAMP:20260825T205438 CREATED:20180102T153307Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180227T222535Z UID:25360-1519491600-1519506000@www.spudnikpress.org SUMMARY:The Hashbrown Show Down: Spudnik’s Rootin Tootin’ Fair & Chili Cook-Off DESCRIPTION:All-You-Can-Eat Chili & Tamales | Guest Juror Won Kim | Audience Choice Awards | Wild West Printmaking Games | Honky Tonk & Bluegrass by DJ Lawrence Peters\nSpudnik Press is pleased to announce its eighth annual Hashbrown Chili Cook Off — The Hashbrown Showdown: Spudnik’s Rootin’ Tootin’ Fair and Chili Cook Off! \nThis year\, we’re (fund)raisin’ hell with some of the wildest outlaws in Chicago’s art community and we reckon it’ll be more fun than shootin’ cans off a fence.
