Looking for a fun night out with a creative twist? Join us at the Bentway Studio (facing Canoe Landing Park) on Wednesday evenings for weekly Drawing Socials. No previous drawing experience? No problem! Our artist facilitators will help you try something new, and meet your neighbours, while learning drawing techniques.
Come with friends to the Bentway Studio on Wednesday evenings for weekly hands-on drawing activities led by local artist collective, Noble Space. These Social nights will centre connection and community-building through creative prompts inspired by our summer exhibition, Softer City. Try something new and meet your neighbours! No previous drawing experience is required.
While you are there, check out The Bentway Book Cart, a pop-up reference library of reading materials, educational resources and activities inspired by Softer City and curated by community collaborators, Toronto Public Library: Fort York, Art Metropole, and Toronto Foundation.
It’s sure to be a fun evening with the chance to meet new people and learn a creative skill. This session will be facilitated by Kathleen Ballos.
This session focuses on paper weaving and drawing. Join us for an introduction to the art of paper weaving! Learn basic techniques, suitable for beginners of all ages, and experiment with weaving patterns, mixing colours, and cutting shapes. Use what you’ve learned to weave colourful paper and your own hand-drawn illustrations into playful patterns and designs.
What to expect:
- All skills levels welcome – no experience necessary.
- Youth under age 16 must be accompanied by a caregiver.
