Life Drawing in the Light

Escape winter darkness and start your day with a morning figure drawing session in the sunlit grand ballroom of Mechanics' Hall.

Enjoy live violin music by Lillie Pearlman while savoring [free] tea, coffee, and snacks. Bring your materials, or you borrow from our supplies.

Whether you’re a seasoned artist or a beginner, embrace the joy of drawing a live model in a vibrant community. All are welcome.

Tickets are on a sliding scale, please pay what you can afford. No one turned away for lack of funds.

The drawing session begins at 11:00 AM, and doors open at 10:45 AM.
