We are thrilled to announce our first in-person event of the year:
SKETCH THE RAINBOW - LIVE!
@ Bishops Square, E1 6AD
Join us for an al-fresco sketchfest with Sue Kreitzman and friends!
As many of you will remember, back in April 2020 we ran a 7 day #SketchTheRainbow Instagram challenge featuring Sue and members of her Colour Walk community. At a time when none of us knew what was going on, the challenge brought us distraction, comfort and joy - and generated over 200 incredible portraits! (e.g above!)
We’re thrilled that 4 of the stars #SketchTheRainbow will be joining us to pose at this special al-fresco Sketchup to celebrate us all being allowed out to play again!!
Sharpen ALL your coloured pencils and get set to sketch:

This special event is THE FIRST IN PERSON EVENT SINCE MARCH 2020 (!!!) and will be a celebration of the connections #SketchTheRainbow created - and a toast to a future full of colour and creativity! It’s part of the Festival of Ideas, a citywide programme which seeks to explore and celebrate what it will take to revitalise our post-pandemic communities. See below for more information.

After a quick warm-up challenge, you’ll be drawing our special guest muses (8 minutes per pose) in the first hour, followed by a short break and then a chance for some of you to pose for the crowd too! Please bring you own drawing materials.

What to bring:
Sunblock, water and a fan (if it’s hot!)
