Thursday, March 26
6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Join us for a night of quick wit, community laughter, and live drawing at CAPTION THIS!, a one-of-a-kind interactive event celebrating humor, art, and imagination. Acclaimed cartoonist Larry Day will draw a series of brand-new cartoons live for the audience to caption in real time.
Each round, participants will have 5 minutes to come up with their best caption. A panel of judges: Raleigh Burleigh (Editor, The Sopris Sun), James Steindler (Contributing Editor, The Sopris Sun), Mike de la Rosa (Gallery Manager, The Art Base) and Alyssa Bozekowski (Senior Communications Associate, The Art Base) will provide commentary and allot points. Extremely modest prizes and ample bragging rights await our local humorists.
This event isn’t about being a professional comedian, everyone’s quips are appreciated as we parse how words and images work together. Beyond participants, guests are also welcome to write, draw along with Larry, or simply enjoy the show.
Come ready to laugh, think, and celebrate the cartoonist’s art form in real time.
Accessibility
The Art Base is wheelchair accessible, along with ground-floor restroom. Seating will be arranged for clear sightlines and easy movement. Amplified sound and projected drawings ensure visibility and audibility for all guests. Participants who need assistance writing or submitting captions please reach out to mike@theartbase.org.
