Creative Happy Hour: Figure Drawing

Figure drawing, usually a hushed studio discipline, turns social in this edition of Art Center Sarasota's Creative Happy Hour series. Artists of every experience level draw from a live model, with a curated playlist in the background and drinks available for purchase. Tables or easels and seating are provided, but participants bring their own pencils, charcoal or other materials, and seats are limited. The setting has a century of history behind it. The center began in 1926 as the Sarasota Art Association, the city's first arts organization, founded by school art supervisor Marcia Rader, and it is now celebrating its centennial.
