Basement Gallery

I have been to this gallery twice and both times was a cool experience. The first as a wandering soul in search of something fun and cool to get into and the second time as a participating artist in their latest anniversary art show. Both times the turn out is great. The environment is pretty cool and great art on display
Artist DIY is an awesome person for keeping the gallery rolling and awesome scene that I definitely support. Cool networking opportunities and will for sure come back again

When a Facebook event came through my feed for a «Drink and Draw Thursday» with a $ 10 entry fee, byob with some beer and wine offered, I instantly marked «going» reminiscing of my old life drawing classes in college.
Biking down off Jefferson I quickly found a sign outside that read «basement». The stairs down were painted in a bright blue patterned logo and suddenly I saw a spray paint can.
Down inside, the space was markedly hip and put together. The owner Daniel swiftly explained the event and I set up my paper.
I checked out the paintings on display and was satisfied with the good art and its street art sensibility.
The drawing session was set up like a college course, with an excellent model, who could keep still with a great figure, who posed for 2 five minute warm up poses, 2 ten minutes, and 2 thirty minute ones.
Afterwards I hung out and talked with some very cool local artists, and exchanged info.
The owner, very approachable and kind, explained how they’d been in business for 3 years with continued success, shows rotate often, Thursday life drawing from 7p-​10pm and Saturday features an art day for parents and kids.
