Life Drawing Session at Gd2Go

New! Outdoor Life Drawing Pop-Up Series

This summer, we’re bringing our beloved life drawing sessions outdoors! In partnership with local downtown cafés, the WKP Kennedy Gallery is launching a free outdoor life drawing series — blending creativity, community, and caffeine in one inspiring setting!

Whether you're a seasoned artist or simply looking for a unique way to spend your afternoon, join us for this one-of-a-kind event that celebrates art, sunshine, and the charm of our local businesses.

 

WHAT TO EXPECT:

- A beautiful downtown patio setting (space reserved for our group)

- A live, clothed model posing in a series of timed gestures

- No instruction provided — these are self-guided sessions

- Special café discounts for participants (encouraging a fun “drink & draw” vibe!)

 

PROVIED ON-SITE:

- Tables and chairs courtesy of our café host

- Drawing boards and clips from the WKP Kennedy Gallery

 

WHAT TO BRING:

- Sketchbooks, newsprint pads, or dry media (graphite, charcoal, coloured pencil, pastels, markers, etc.)

- Easels are welcome for those who prefer to stand — feel free to set up along the patio’s edge
