Life Drawing workshops at DRAW Gallery begin again and continue each week.
Featuring live model figure drawing, artists gather together to paint, sketch or sculpt from different live models. The models will provide a long pose, which will give participants time to complete their work.
Teen night at the gallery welcomes all young artists every Monday 6-8 p.m. ‘Open Studio’ takes place every Tuesday and Wednesday 6-8 p.m. The fee to participate is $12.50. Artists can also pre-register for five sessions for a fee of $60. Space is limited. Call Astrid at 250-724-2056 and book your spot.
