Inktober Kickoff Event

Join us for Crested Butte’s first Inktober Challenge! Artist Jake Parker created the month-long art challenge to improve skills and create positive drawing habits and it’s since grown into a worldwide endeavor, with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year. In this fun and informative kick-off session, local artists Linsey Olesiak and Paul Mack will set you up for a month of success, no matter your skill level. Examine examples from previous years, and engage in drawing challenges to spark your creativity before the month of drawing begins. All ages welcome. King Community Room and Terrace | $15 (includes a beverage)
