Drink & Draw Hastings Public LibraryOrr Room, Lower level 7 Maple AvenueHastings-on-Hudson Admission: $20 per session Register below. You must register and pay in advance below for each session. No payments will be accepted at the door.  Drink & Draw is a modern twist on the classic artistic practice of life drawing. Artists of all experience levels and backgrounds are welcome, especially those that have always wanted to try their hand.  In this non-instructional event, we aim to create a relaxing, social and inclusive environment for the community to come together for a fun night of drawing.  After some mingling with fellow guests, participants will have an opportunity to capture the human body in poses of different lengths, with breaks for refreshments in between.   There’s wine, crackers, cheese and cookies to enjoy, and our host curates a playlist to keep your energy flowing.  The evening lasts about 2 ½ hours, and participants leave with a collection of their new works… and maybe some new friends too. RiverArts is proud to be able to provide this unique opportunity right here in our Rivertowns, an opportunity which is often only accessible to art students or by traveling into New York City, with a significant investment of time and tuition.  Drink & Draw offers a perfect entry-level for the amateur artist, and we have seen beginners improve significantly as their skills develop in subsequent sessions and they draw on their experience and learn from others.   Model provided. Please bring your own art supplies and arrive on time. Must be over 18 to attend. Wine for those 21+ FOR MORE INFORMATION EMAIL: jriesman@riverarts.org #DrinkAndDraw Fill out my Wufoo form!
