We meet every two weeks for two hours in the early evening, and we - you might have guessed it by now - draw.

The Drawing Club is run by artists Camila Machado and Lisi Pressl who have started missing such a place in their own practice and thus want to provide a place to draw in a friendly and encouraging environment.

Every session is different: we come up with prompts, themes, formats, materials, whatever strikes our fancy. You are free to join our propositions, but of course you can also follow your own inspiration.

The Club creates a rare setting: to draw regularly and mindlessly, but in companionship with colleagues, kind strangers, and fellow professional amateurs. It is not a workshop or a drawing course, but it is a gathering that enables drawing and fosters a positive relationship to drawing. It is not about reaching a certain skill level or completing a task.

As such The Drawing Club is a Fight Club: we want to fight the anxiety, individualisation, and competitiveness of practicing art, be it professionally or as a leisure; fight the notion of success, fight the arbitrary belief of doing it right or doing it wrong, and fight the absurdity of not drawing. Let’s instead (genius pun coming up) draw on each other’s thoughts, presence, and practice.
