Midway's Second Annual Monster Drawing Rally, a benefit event involving over 75 Minneapolis / St. Paul artists, took place Saturday, December 12, 2009. Midway's three galleries were cleared to hold a series of tables where participating artists drew live in front of attendees. Upon completion, each drawing was hung on the wall and available for purchase (first come, first serve) for a flat price of $35. Proceeds went towards Midway's 2010 programming.

Thank you to all of the artists who participated!
