Club Cumming To Host Drink And Draw: A Benefit For Broadway Bares

Calling all artists! Get out your sketch pads, 'cause you're invited! Sunday, June 3rd, some of Broadway's hottest performers will serve as models for a special live sketching event at Club Cumming (505 E 6th St) where YOU are the artist.

Acclaimed local artist and sketch journalist, A.E. Kieren (aekieren.com) hosts a special edition of Drink and Draw at Club Cumming. Artists of all skill levels are invited to participate in this FREE 5-hour live sketching event. No cover charge. Club Cumming will donate 10% of all bar proceeds to Broadway Cares.

Performers from this year's Broadway Bares: Game Night will be on hand donating their time to pose. Expected performers include J. Harrison Gee (Kinky Boots), Julius Anthony Rubio (Escape to Margaritaville), Ed Stanley (Sleep No More), performer Aaron Libby, and more to be announced as well as special guests.

Kieren has assembled some favorite local artists to join in on the fun. Many of the professional artists will donate their sketches to Broadway Bares fundraising efforts.

Not an artist? No worries! Come drink and watch! There will also be art supplies on hand if you want to take a crack at drawing. Not only will Club Cumming be donating 10% of the bar that evening to Broadway Bares fundraising efforts, but they will also match all of the tips the models receive during each pose.
