This event brings together many artists currently attending drawing groups in the city.
Most of the art on the walls is for sale at very reasonable prices and all sales contribute directly to keeping the space open as well as supporting individual creators.
Please note that the regular opening times for the gallery will be different during this exhibition.
We will be open daily from 10:00 – 18:00.

Please help!
The exhibition is a passion project and as such is not designed to make a profit.
The organisers of Drawing Humans are also artists themselves, promoting the drawing community by bringing visibility to incredible people and the work they create, in a genre that is rarely represented by commercial galleries.
