Join us for Drawing for Life – a creative drawing experience in a space where all abilities are welcomed.

Drawing for Life sees leading artists and performers curate poses, subjects and performances for a distinctive life drawing experience.

Enter the rainbow-filled world of Minna Gilligan: True Colours for a very groovy edition of Drawing for Life.

We’ve invited two roller skaters, embracing retro and vintage aesthetics to present a series of solo and interactive poses celebrating friendship and play.

Come to simply draw or take part in a series of optional activities inviting you to cut and paste, add colour, texture and 70s style patterns and shapes.

Please note that all materials are provided. Food and beverages are not permitted in the Gallery, with the exception of bottled water; we invite you to enjoy refreshments before or after the session at The Exhibitionist Bar on Level 5, HOTA Gallery.

Doors open 5:30pm.
