About this Event
Life drawing with 1838 Collective
Join us for a relaxed life drawing session at Islington Mill, with 1838 Collective. Whether you're an experienced artist or just want to have fun sketching, this is the perfect chance to practice your skills in a relaxed setting.
We will provide guidance throughout the session, which which you are welcome to follow - or just listen to what your instinct is telling you.
As part of the session basic materials, coffee and biscuits are included.
The facilities are fully wheelchair accessible with an accesible toilet on the same floor.
1838 Collective is an artist-led non-profit organisation based in Salford that supports emerging artists transitioning from education into sustainable professional practice. Founded by graduates of Manchester School of Art, the collective was created in response to the barriers many artists face after graduation, including isolation, lack of networks, limited access to affordable studio spaces, and gaps in professional skills development.
Through free and low-cost workshops, exhibitions, socials, mentoring, and opportunities, 1838 Collective creates inclusive spaces where artists can build confidence, develop practical career skills, and connect with other artists. The organisation is committed to accessibility, diversity, and community care.
Since launching in 2026, 1838 Collective has delivered weekly events, supported over 150 artists, curated exhibitions across Manchester and internationally, and built a growing creative community both online and in person.
