Through word of mouth, Adult Drawing has attracted thousands of new and established artists since 2007, and has been featured in Playboy, The Observer, Time Out New York, and Village Voice. We've partnered up with venues of all sizes- night clubs, theater spaces and galleries, including a residency at artist Alex Grey’s C …

Three of my favorite things to do are: figure drawing, making music, and playing games--all while sipping wine and and eating fancy cheeses with like-minded creative and fun people. To that end I am opening my house in Windsor Terrace Brooklyn for a once-or-twice-a-month get-together to anyone who would like to share in these activities. Whether you are an accomplished gamer, artist, and musician, or a novice that can barely play an instrument or draw, and never played Scrabble or Boggle in your …

This is a fun and friendly figure drawing group. We have sessions on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and occasionally an outdoor session on Sundays. Our models are the best the area has to offer. It's also an amazing opportunity to meet other artists; from professionals to the more casual sketch artist. All are welcome and we love first-timers! Sorry, no photography allowed.

I have organized a studio where we can meet 1-2 times a month in Watchung (right off 78) to draw from a model (we will draw from a variety of models both clothed and nude). This will be an uninstructed session for all levels, from beginner to professional artist. We hope to create a relaxed and creative environment. Bring your own drawing supplies. Ages 18+ Fee will be $15 per session.

This group was created to bring together artists in the community to enjoy drawing from a live model. Classes are offered on an ongoing basis. This will be an amazing community designed to empower artists and those who love the arts. We are very grateful to our models and hold them in the highest regard.  If you are interested in modeling, please email Martine Bisagni at brooklynworkshopgallery@earthlink.net  or call the gallery at 718-7979427.  Thank you.

We welcome people who: have a love of art and nature - want to meet new people - want to learn from other artists - want to see parks and museums - want to start drawing (including figure drawing), but classes are too expensive - draw all the time, or haven't drawn for years (or ever!) What makes our Meetups different? We like to share …

HI EVERYONE!!! I'm a designer, living in Philly. I have an unbelievable passion for creating stories, using story boards and pictures. Wanted to see if anyone shared my passion. Which brought me here. I would love to organize a meet up group or something where people who have a love of animation and storyboarding can share ideas, share drawings, paintings, color theories, maybe even some computer animation! Maybe start a team which we can just take an idea and run with it. I just want to know if …

I thought to create this group in an attempt to offer a venue for those who want to network and socialize at the same time. This is a group that will explore events that include black tie benefits, young professional events as well as other events that are designed to raise money for a cause. That said, there will be a cost to attend these functions that will range from $10-200. For those who have attended benefits or black tie events, you may be familiar with these venues. They draw a sophistic …

We will have the opportunity to engage in exercises encouraging mindfulness and art making. All levels from beginner to seasoned artist are encouraged to attend.

I started this group because so many of us have forgotten the pure creative spirit that enveloped us as children. Whether it was experienced at play, drawing, painting, reading, telling stories, making up songs, building things or taking things apart!, dressing up, dancing, singing, playing an instrument, writing and most of all the forgotten art of daydreaming and fantasizing. These activities get lost in the "Everydays" of life as we grow older. For some it is lost early on while others can ma …

For artists who love to work in colored pencils, this group is for you! We are artists who love to draw and create with colored pencils. Each week we get together and draw with our pencils. Starting with still life for a few weeks, we can move to portraiture and figure drawing. Models can be in the studio if we wish. Let's get together and draw!

Creativity is an expression of life.  It is a form of communication, as important as spoken language, but all too often we are cut off from this part of ourselves. We are encouraged to draw, paint and dance as children, but as adults we are told that these endeavors are secondary to more practical concerns. Nothing could be further from the truth.  Our ability to transform concepts, ideas, stories or life experience into images, objects, sounds and movement is essential to a full and rich expres …

My goal in life is personal growth through as many means as possible, and I would really like to support others in this endeavor as well. I am a firm believer that real growth and change happens when you connect with other people and have the safe space to make mistakes, ask questions, and be accepted for who you are anyway :). I would like us to gather together and do various activities and exercises to uncover those areas in ourselves that need work, to support each other in this process, and …

A Living Family: Your support, Your Family. When I was a child, my parents would tell me stories of their childhoods growing up in India. Living communally, in a compound with extended families, the children grew and played together while the adults shared together in the joys and tasks of daily life. Even as a child, I understood the power of community to enrich the life of the individual. I gather that it was a difficult time, making life happen with the resources available, but I also heard t …
