Off the Screen, Onto the Page
Put the phone down and pick up a colored pencil. Join Miami-based artist and filmmaker Jillian Mayer, fresh from her current solo project at MASS MoCA, for a joyful, no-pressure drawing session built to get you out of your head and onto the page.
Expect quick-fire rounds and playful prompts (60-second portraits, draw your neighbor without looking, sketch the room in one unbroken line) designed to loosen your hand and sharpen your eye. No experience needed and no mistakes possible: just good company, a glass in hand, and the rare pleasure of making something entirely analog. You will leave with a stack of sketches, a few new friends, and a fresh way of seeing.
