Life Drawing Event at Afri-Co-Lab
The Sitter And Their Stories
Life Drawathon - Saturday, June 11th, 2022
10 AM - 10 PM
Twelve hours, eight sitters, one venue!
The number of pictures produced? Well, that’s up to you!
Life Drawathon, 10 AM - 10 PM
Whether you're an artistic newbie, an old master, or a free spirit, come and draw your heart out in the comfort of your local creativity lab and raise funds for The Refugee Buddy Project and Hastings Supports Refugee Community Group in our Life Drawathon.
Join us in a 12- hour life drawing experiment to capture what really makes the human form. The laughter behind the lines, the wrinkles at the corner of an eye, and the work that shapes our hands.
At the end of your time with us, we would love for you to donate one of your pieces to create a community exhibition that will be reproduced and sold during Hastings Refugee Week.
