Life drawing and drinks in the Life Room
Members' month
Wednesday 22 May 2024 6.30 - 9.30pm
Life Room | Burlington House
£65. Includes all practical materials and refreshments.
Join us in the historic Life Room in the Royal Academy Schools for an exclusive evening of life drawing and drinks.
Whether you’re experienced at sketching the figure and want to hone your skills, or you’re trying life drawing for the first time, take part in a supportive and friendly environment.
Our historic Life Room is where generations of RA Schools students have studied how to draw from life, and this is a special opportunity to be among the first to experience the renovated space following its reopening in spring 2024.
Led by expert teacher and practising artist Adele Wagstaff, you will explore the joys of drawing the human figure, while working directly from two life models.
There will be an interval during the evening with an opportunity to enjoy drinks.
Minimum age 18. If you have any accessibility needs, please contact public.programmes@royalacademy.org.uk.
This event is open to Friends, Bar & Garden Members and House Members of the RA only.
£65. Includes all practical materials and refreshments.
