Draw

Monster Children Gallery presents DRAW
AN EXHIBITION BY FRENCH, STEFAN MARX & MARCUS OAKLEY

Three similarly different drawing styles meet in Draw with French, Stefan Marx and Marcus Oakley at Monster Children Gallery. Collectively, their work conjures earlier established themes and imagery mined from a myriad of sources. Interestingly, musical tastes come through in each of the artists work. Each has their own specific way of presenting this in their work. Whether it’s a portrait of a folk musician, a scrawled lyric from a favourite song, or a goat’s head.

Opening Night: THURSDAY 19TH AUGUST 6.00PM
Continues: 20TH AUGUST – 9TH SEPTEMBER, 2010.

Monster Children Gallery
20 Burton St, Darlinghurst

Gallery Hours: 12pm – 6pm Wednesday to Saturday.

A Contribution to Contributor

Contributor is a rad project Conceived by Mike Giles and Annie Lam and co-curated by Bob Kronbauer.

Here is all the info all about it

The idea behind Contributor is pretty simple: skateboards for all. Although this seems like a very generous statement, it’s something that we truly believe is possible and within all of our reach.

Today, there are approximately 1.6 million kids living in poverty across Canada. The negative effects of poverty are very significant and limiting for those who are affected by it on a daily basis, but are especially difficult for youth. For these youth things that we take for granted – let’s say, the simple action of going out to play with friends on a skateboard – seem unattainable. Without access to a positive support through a group of peers and healthy alternatives to focus on, these kids can lose their way.

By working with non-profit organizations across Canada, who are dedicated to youth at risk and children in lower-income neighborhoods, we hope to encourage successful outcomes through the addition of skateboarding as a positive reinforcement.

There is so much to be said about how skateboarding can improve lives and build friendships between people who would’ve otherwise been strangers; heck that’s why this organization exists!

Contributor allows all of us to come together and give a new generation of kids that same opportunity.
