Third Space is thrilled to announce a brand new piece of 2024 monthly programming: group art-making sessions! With thanks to our friends at the Saint John Public Library- Central Branch, Live Drawing at the Library is an opportunity for anyone to practice their hand with a variety of subjects: still life, live models, blind contour, plein air, and much more.
This group session will take place from 1pm-3pm on every second Sunday of the month on the main floor of the Saint John Public Library, located inside of Market Square.
Participation is by donation through a Pay What You Can format. This program is BYOS: Bring your own supplies! Each month, there will be a new subject to draw from, whether it be an array of blankets, odd skeletons, live clothed models, flowers and props, or anything in between. We ask that the medium you work in remains relatively dry (i.e. no paints or loose inks).
Live Drawing at the Library intends to exist as an open-ended gathering of artists to create at their own pace. We will have some attendees (board members and/or staff) who have formal training in the arts to support anyone who may be stuck or need help in their creative process, but the primary goal of this group is to experience a semi-formal artistic event without the pressure of an academic system or otherwise. Participants are welcome to bring headphones and work in their own bubble, or chat quietly with others.
Mark your calendars below for every Sunday monthly meet, you won’t want to miss it!
