Red Pencil Drawing Nights

ArtYard will host Red Pencil Drawing Nights in connection with , a new popup exhibition inviting visitors to slow down, pay attention, and get creative by sketching still-life drawings of animals with red pencils.

The Drawing Nights, held from 5 to 7 PM Thursdays starting Sept. 26, will be hosted by a revolving cast of friendly community members. We’ll provide wine, drawing boards, paper and pencils. Participants are invited to bring a friend and cookies to share. No art instruction except encouragement will be offered and no critiques ensue.

Studies show that engaging in creative tasks in community while holding a red pencil increases emotional intelligence and joie de vivre. Studies further demonstrate that drawings made by participants of vastly different experiences and abilities look wonderful together when all drawn with a red pencil.
