Drink and Draw
Join us for Drink and Draw, an art-making series at NOMA. Seeing is an active process of focusing, negotiating, and making meaning at once. Attune your eyes, mind, and body through an exploratory approach to observational drawing—with drinks in hand! Warm up with sketching and looking in the galleries, participate in a drawing session facilitated by a teaching artist, and enjoy sounds by local DJs.
