Please note that we will be asking everyone to follow COVID-19 precautions during this event (see below).

Got a creative itch to scratch? Come draw with us in Central Park! The internet is brimming with ideas and we just snagged one from an IG reel that will be worth your while. We’ll pair you with a partner in a prime park location and let your inner Rembrandt flow. You’ll have five minutes to draw whatever’s on your heart and when the five minutes is up you’ll switch drawings with your partner! The piece you started could morph into a monstrosity or the next Mona Lisa. The point is to have fun and break the ice with someone new.

How it works:

• Register and we will send you all the meeting and contact info you’ll need.
• The group will walk from the Monument for USS Maine at Columbus Circle and find a spot in the park for us to be artists!
• Following the event you will have the option to go to a local outdoor space for food and drinks.

What to expect:

• We will provide sketch books and pencils
• This event is limited to 20 people–both men and women

What to Bring:

• A blanket or chair to sit on
• Drinks and/or snacks
• Your imagination
