December meeting/Holiday Party

This month's get together will be at the River's Edge Gallery in Wyandotte this Sunday starting at 5:00pm. This will double as the official MCS Holiday party, as well, so if you have any goodies or libations to bring along, please do so. This will be our second year having the party at the gallery, so we give a big thanks to Patt Slack, Jeremy Hansen and Jay Ray for being gracious enough to host our get together. It's always a good time and if you have some free time during the hustle and bustle of the season come on down to Wyandotte to unwind. Here's the details:

November Meeting

This month's meet up will be this Friday in Ypsilanti at the Eagle Crest inside the Ann Arbor Marriott. Some of you will recall, this was the location of the sketch group Ink & Stein, which folded a few years ago. So, to spread our wings to a different location and to honor those from I&S, we will be heading more western from where we usually hang. Here are the details:

Friday, November 16, 2012
6:30-10:00
Ann Arbor Marriott Ypsilanti at Eagle Crest
1275 S. Huron Street
Ypsilanti, MI 48197

Bring your sketch books, whatever projects you want to work on, or if you just want to hang out with the cool kids, Ypsi is the place to be this November.

Earlier this month MCS had a presence at the Grosse Pointe art festival, Art & Sole and we did sketches for the Belle Isle Aquarium. We raised $1200.00 over the two days and below is the letter we received back from the Belle Isle Conservancy thanking us for the donation. Well done MCS!

Art & Sole Festival

Motor City Sketch will be at the Art & Sole Fest in Grosse Pointe this weekend doing sketches and selling original artwork all the proceeds from these will be donated to the Belle Isle Aquarium and their efforts to open on a regular basis and to maintain costs of doing so. Jay Shimko, Jon Wallace, John Marroquin, Chris Sanchez and Bruce Gerlach will be on hand doing sketches. All the artists will also be selling their own materials such that one would see at cons.

Come on down, this will be the first time illustrators will be represented at the festival!

July meeting at Black Lotus

Hipsters beware! The next meet up of MCS will be at the Black Lotus Brewery in Clawson this Thursday starting at 6:00 and going until whenever. There will be another sketch group there, as well. Joe Foo and his gang, which call themselves Draw Sucka Draw! will also be there. So, twice the sketch action for the same low price. So, if you are in the area and are an artist an artist wannabe or just plain like to drink and make fun of artist types, then head on over to Black Lotus. We will be there.
