First Drawing Jam
The first Drawing Jam at Arts Alive took place last night in the surrounds of the NAIDOC week Tasmanian Aboriginal Artists Project exhibition(on until today, the 18th).
Many of us struggled with drawing again and discussed this strange process of coordinating our eyes and hands.
There was a very orange theme to the night as you can tell from the photographs.
Next Drawing Jam: 6-9pm, Wed 20th August.

Drawing jam night this wednesday
This Wednesday night, the 16th of July, Gravity is hosting a monthly night of drawing, simply because drawing is awesome and it is really nice to be in the same room as other people who are drawing too. We will hopefully make a little zine out of what happens on the night. Really hope you can come, paper supplied, bring your own drawing implements.
Arts Alive, 178a Charles Street Launceston, 6-9pm.
