In Conversation 2020/21


Drawing is Free in Coversation was a series of online events bringing creatives together to draw and discuss their practice.

Fall 2020 - Spring 2021
Hand letered logo, roughly drawn with a fat crayon, reads "Drawing Is Free In Conversation"

Series 1: Four brilliant people - all met through teaching drawing and the Drawing is Free project - working in the fields of music, dance, fashion and art (and in combination) - will alternate between posing to be drawn and conversation.

Portrait drawing inspired by the model's words: ideas, reflections, experience and their chosen music.

Format: 1 pose, 1 track of music, 1 drawing, 1 question. REPEAT.

DRAWING IS FREE IN CONVERSATION
is FREE and OPEN to all.
