CRASE & Thacher Gallery: Collective Art-Making and Mezcal Tasting Ritual

Drawing Circles Participants

Wednesday, October 23, 3–5 p.m.
Thacher Gallery

Over 30 participants participated in a mezcal tasting ritual and drawing circle inspired by Yañez’s community practice and responded to music and other prompts in a no-shame and collegial atmosphere led by curator Rio Yañez with Roberto Varea. Drawing circles and collective art making were key elements in almost all of the exhibitions that René Yañez produced during his last decade. Artists and non-artists alike gathered to draw while he, acting as a symphonic conductor, curated prompts, models and music.
