Dog Draw V: Are You Afraid of the Bark?
Date: Wednesday October 30, 2024
Time: 7:00 - 9:00pm (2 hours)
WITH COSTUMES!! Join us for a special Halloween edition of Dog Draw, where all of our models will be wearing costumes!
This night of life-drawing has a twist - the models are dogs! Come draw some puppers on Wednesday October 30th from 7pm - 9pm at Northern Contemporary. BYOM (bring your own materials). Open to all skill levels.
Besides the cuteness factor (which will be high) you get to practice a whole different set of textures and anatomy. We’ll have a variety of different dogs and pose styles - you get a night unlike any other and you’ll go home with a stack of personal masterpieces to frame and display.
Cost: $25 per participant (Ages 10+, participants under 14 must be accompanied by an adult)

Featured Artists
Richard Ahnert
Toronto-based artist Richard Ahnert takes anthropomorphic painting to a new level, lacing it with a quiet, yet unmistakable animism– an abiding kinship between human and animal. He uses the relationship between animals and humans to explore themes of emotion, metaphor, and narrative with a satirical twist. Storytelling, understated humour, and deep reflection are at the heart of his practice.
Richard began exhibiting his work in 2010 and has shown in exhibitions and galleries globally. His work has won awards and can be found in private collections and businesses around the world.

Jeff Blackburn
Jeff Blackburn is a multidisciplinary artist with over 15 years of experience producing and exhibiting projects. The thematic core of Blackburn’s work is an introspective exploration of personal connection, with individual exhibitions directed to more specific concepts such as social dynamics, isolation, and growth.
Drawing inspiration from both sequential art and the graffiti/post-graffiti movements, his work is known for its emphasis on line and texture, and its dissection of form using interpretive contour lines. Paintings are constructed by merging illustrative pop art and aesthetics with urban art materials and techniques.
