Drawing for Life – Beach Daze

Thursday 18 September 2025 | 06:00 PM

Each Drawing for Life session sees leading artists and performers curate poses, subjects and performances for you to draw.

In September, we’re taking inspiration from the new HOTA Gallery exhibition Ken Done: No Rules, open 13 September 2025 to 15 February 2026. A live model will create various beach scenes for participants to explore through drawing. Inspired by Ken Done, we’ll focus on the colour and composition of each scene.

Our Artist Educators will guide you in short drawing warm-ups, followed by long and sustained poses to investigate details and various drawing materials. All abilities are welcome to enjoy this unique and artful experience. All drawing materials are provided.

Ticket includes one complimentary beverage from a selected drinks menu, with food and drinks available to purchase throughout the session.

Doors open at 6pm for a 6:30pm event start. This event does not contain nudity.
