Vancouver, BC– Curator Julie Lee usually undertakes large arts-related function such as last month’s Unite With Art gala that raised a reported $460,000 for UNICEF Canada’s AIDS-related activities. But she handles smaller projects, too, like Drawing Party 2 that ran at Gallery Jones recently. It kicked off the July 17-Aug. 7 Drawn Festival, where 15 city galleries will show contemporary works. Draw well and you can do anything, the saying goes. The Gallery Jones function encouraged that with wall-mounted paper sheets for anyone to embellish, including Lee’s goddaughter, Clara Leiterman-Joy.

Clara Leiterman-Joy took advantage of a scribbling wall at the Drawn Festival event godmother Julie Lee curated.
