Drink and Draw is a popular, free monthly event at Art Boutiki in San Jose, drawing 60 to 80 attendees. Participants are encouraged to express their creativity using provided materials or their own art supplies. Hosts Carlos Velazquez and Alca Usan have been running the event for five years, which was initially created by Art Boutiki owner Dan Vado. Drink and Draw combines community interaction with a relaxed atmosphere, featuring adult beverages and an engaging, messy art experience with graffiti-covered butcher paper tables.
"At Drink and Draw, everyone can express their inner creativity while enjoying community. And for the grownups, there are adult beverages on hand."
"The tables are covered in butcher paper, so some people just draw on the tables with the markers and crayons that are out."
"In its most traditional sense, 'drink and draw' is simply something that artists do at comic book conventions all over the country."
"It's become a place where you can just show up, or come prepared with whatever."
