Once Upon a Line: A Sketchbook Fight Club Event at PPL

invites you to step into the elegant Mural Room of the Providence Public Library for a sketching event where stories leap off the shelves and onto the pages of your sketchbook. Once Upon a Line is a special edition of Sketchbook Fight Club that celebrates the library as a place of imagination and transformation. Through playful prompts and drawing games, we’ll turn characters, symbols, and fragments of fiction into new forms in your sketchbook.

Just bring your sketchbook* and a sense of adventure!*Don’t have a sketchbook? No worries! You can pick one up from us for $5 at the event! Drawing supplies will be available to borrow during the event for free.

Info: Providence-based artist Kit Miklik will kick off the event by setting the scene and leading the group through quick, low-pressure drawing games to shake off hesitation and loosen up your drawing muscles.

Info: A mini drawing lesson with prompts inspired by the library's collections.

Info: A chance to build out your own visual stories in a supportive, playful environment with music and optional prompts. You will be given the option to share your sketches and see the stories others have drawn—or let yours remain untold. The choice is yours!
