Hottest Art
Trend on the West Coast Comes to Long Island at sat/nite/draw…



The Art
League of Long Island is adding a new event to Long Island’s social and
cultural calendar! We are taking the hottest art trend on the West Coast
to the East Coast and hosting our first Saturday night event on Dec. 14 from
7-10pm called sat/nite/draw…



Like our
successful Art After Dark series on selected Friday nights, ALLI is opening our
doors to art lovers of all levels (21 years old plus) to participate in a
social event with an artistic vibe. It is an opportunity to be part of the
local art scene, whether you are an artist of any level or someone who just
likes being in a cultural atmosphere.



This will be more than a typical art class – it’ll be an art experience. 
Agenda for sat/nite/draw… includes: figure drawing with a twist! Sketch
live models dressed in spectacularly themed costumes - this evening’s theme is
"Steampunk Style” a mix of British Victorian meets Wild West meets
Futuristic! These professional models are not your ordinary art school
models - they are from Gallery Girls, one of LA’s exciting art modeling
agencies and flying to New York for this special night of art at ALLI.
 They will be posing throughout the evening in their custom fantastic
Steampunk outfits.



It’s
B.Y.O.S., bring your own sketchbook/paper and art supplies appropriate for
quick sketching. There will also be a pin-up board for everyone to display
their artwork as the evening progresses.



Also at sat/nite/draw… is a special celebrity artist appearance and book signing
by Pierre Bernard, Jr. (of Late Night with Conan O’Brien fame).
 Pierre will start the evening with a talk about his art career in NYC and
LA, and offer creative encouragement and critique throughout the drawing
session.  These social drawing events have become so much a part of his
life on the West Coast, he recently published his own book, “18x24 and
other Sizes” showcasing his personal portfolio of live model drawings.
It’s a perfect time to draw with Pierre and purchase an autographed copy
of his book. To learn more about Pierre Bernard, Jr., visit totallygraphic.com.
