Originally created by Aubyn O’Grady and now organized by KIAC, Drawlidays V is a secret santa portrait exchange. By way of drawing names, participants be assigned someone in Dawson to *secretly* make a portrait of their person over the course of 1 month.
On the eve of Thursday, December 12th portraits will be hung and on display in the ODD Gallery. Portraits are for keepsies, and this year we’d like to keep them on display for ONE WEEK ONLY. This means on December 20th, 2024, participants will walk away with a new rendering of themselves to hang proudly above their mantle.
The Drawlidays event has been donated to KIAC as a fundraiser for Artist in Residence annual programming.
RULES
Portraits in this game are typically limited to the second dimension: so, flat (ish), drawings, paintings, collages, on paper, etc.
Drawlidays V is limited to those of us in Dawson.
We gratefully acknowledge support of the Canada Council for the Arts.
