This is a ticketed event and thousands are expected to attend.Our exhibiting artist showing in the NCAN booth at ArtWalk is portrait painter Laura ConverseShe aims to help you to better understand the uniqueness of “you” and  sharpen your view of the face. She invites you to draw a portrait of yourself!  Using a template and pencil, you will trace a quick 10 minute sketch, be your own creative self and produce a special drawing. No previous experience is necessary; you will receive easy instructions from a talented teacher.
