Nellie's Walk will today be transformed into a rotating canvas, with passersby invited to contribute a sketch.

The works will then be displayed at the Bermuda Society of Arts as part of a collage lining a wall in the People's Gallery.

Called 'Quick Draw', the idea is that passersby will stop for five minutes, and draw or paint a submission either today or April 23, between noon and 2 p.m.

"It's guaranteed to lower your blood pressure and raise your awareness of art as an important part of daily life," said BSoA assistant director Lesley Rego.

The event is part of Gallery 400, a month-long exhibition and celebration of the arts in Bermuda, sponsored by The Bermuda 2009 Charitable Trust.

The sketches will remain on display until April 29.
