As Athens’ leading independent, non-profit, cultural venues, Ciné and ATHICA provide homes for the creative culture that our area artists, musicians, filmmakers, performers, and writers produce and that contributes to the vibrant community of Athens. Venues and creatives alike have been threatened by the economic impacts of COVID-19; support of this community is more important than ever. In recognition of this shared mission, Ciné and ATHICA are once again joining forces to host their second REALLY BIG ART RALLY (formerly Monster Drawing) as a collaborative fundraising event. Our first-time event in 2019 drew hundreds of artists and art lovers and raised over $10,000 for these worthy non-profits.
As a business or individual in this creative community which we serve, please consider sponsoring this important and lively fundraising event in which artists produce works in front of a live audience, which are then made available for sale to the attendees.
A unique mix of live performance, art-sale, and fun party, the Really BIG Art Rally gives all involved the chance to see artmaking in action; connect with local artists; mingle with friends; and buy the finished works as they are created and posted on the buy wall.
Tickets are $10 per person, children 12 and under free.
BUY TICKETS
The Event is from 10am-3pm.
DJ Mahogany: DJ - Didi Dunphy: Emcee.
Proceeds from the event provide direct support to both Ciné and ATHICA!
Up to $10,000 Total Will Be Matched by the James E. and Betty J. Huffer Foundation.
