‘A Journey Towards’ Late Opening & Drawing Event

A late opening and relaxed evening of drawing as part of 'A Journey Towards' exhibition. All abilities welcome!

  • 19th September 2025 - 19th September 2025
  • 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm

On Friday 19th September, as part of A Journey Towards exhibition we will be keeping our doors open until 8pm for our late opening & drawing drop-in event.

We will be setting up a drawing station from 5pm with papers and materials for you to use as you’d like. We invite you to take inspiration from the artwork displayed or from your own internal world and join us for a creative drop-in evening.

We aim to create a relaxed space for self expression without any preconceived ideas of what a drawing can or should be so come and experiment with us and see where it takes you.

This is a drop-in session so you are welcome to come and stay for as little or long as you’d like. At around 6:30pm we’ll have a short guided drawing session with some lighthearted activities to get ideas flowing. For the rest of the time it will predominately be a self-guided session, however we will be around to offer ideas and guidance if you’d like any. We welcome all forms of drawing and skill levels.

The main exhibition will remain open and you are welcome to join just for this if you’d rather, drawing is optional!

This event is free and no tickets are required.

This event is taking place as part of the Gordon Shaw: A Journey Towards exhibition on at ARTSPACE 13th – 21st September.

This event will take place in the ARTSPACE gallery space. The space is on the ground floor, with one small step up to the entrance. The toilets are located in the main building and are accessible from the gallery. There is a small step up into the main building and a ramp down on the inside. If you have any accessibility requirements you would like to chat through, please get in touch.
