DRINK AND DRAW BERLIN (Germany)

The Art Department | World Tour

Drink and Draw Berlin is a local artist collective founded in 2014, who gives weekly art classes, workshops, exhibitions and even organizing installations. For this World Tour they are preparing two live sketching sessions! We cannot wait!

Drink and Draw Berlin’s open studio is based aboard a 90 year old ship right on the river Spree as part of the Historic Harbor in Mitte, Berlin. There they organize weekly art classes, workshops, exhibitions and go out to create art installations or murals for clubs and various locations. They have been involved in a number of our The Art Department festivals and we are psyched that they are traveling with us for this one.

They prepared two live sketching sessions in which they will also give extensive feedback on your work. In this corona year that have become very inventive to keep the creative juices flowing and to keep drawing together.
