Chicano Steel

Based on the popular Monster Drawing Rally, developed in 2000, by San Francisco organization Southern Exposure, Chicano Steel is a community and artist oriented public event, featuring live drawing. Local artists are publicly showcased and their work is sold immediately at an affordable price, on a first come basis.

The event features three, one-hour drawing shifts with up to 25 artists drawing simultaneously.
