Join us for our monthly Drawing Room event, where we come together to sketch and draw from a live model, with live music, and special guests learning from each other in a fun and engaging atmosphere.

Overview

Join us for monthly drawing events where we’ll explore the art of drawing from the human figure. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or starting, everyone is welcome to participate. Some materials will be provided, but also bring your sketchbook and pencils, and head over to Paul Robeson Gallery, Room 307, Express Newark, 54 Halsey Street, 3rd Floor.

During these in-person events held every last Thursday of the month, we will also have guests and performances. You’ll have the opportunity to connect with fellow artists and work on your drawing skills in a supportive environment. Don’t miss out on this chance to practice drawing from live models and hone your skills.

Mark your calendars and join us in collective learning during Drawing Room.

Thursdays!!!

This project is part of the Drawing Room Installation. Inspired by historic drawing rooms—short for "withdrawing room"—this installation transforms the gallery into a contemporary space for reflection, conversation, and creative exchange.

Time: 6:00 pm EST
