SUMMARY:Assembly: Together We Grow at Del Ray Artisans Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Assembly: Together We Grow Art Exhibit\nMarch 6–28\, 2026\nOpening Reception: Friday\, March 6 from 7–9pm\n“Hear the Call” by Haddy Kreie\nFrom council circles of Indigenous nations to agoras of ancient Greece\, and from impromptu storm shelters to reliable weekly spiritual gatherings and intimate family dinners\, gathering has shaped how we live and how we imagine better ways of living together. It is one of the essential tools we have for building trust\, sharing knowledge\, and making meaning across generations. \nThe Assembly: Together We Grow art exhibit at Del Ray Artisans delves into the fundamental human act of gathering and how it helps us grow\, care for one another\, and cultivate belonging.

SUMMARY:Life Drawing – Gesture and Short Poses Session
DESCRIPTION:Drop-in and practice figure drawing on select Tuesday and Thursday evenings each month. Bring your supplies and join us at the gallery to draw or paint our nude model. \nTraditional drawing media (such as pencils\, pens\, and charcoal) are welcome; and pastels\, watercolor and ink are permissible. Please do not bring acrylics or oil paints. We don’t supply easels – only plenty of chairs – but you are welcome to bring your own easel if you want to use one. All skill levels are welcome. \nThe first part of this session will be focused on gesture poses (dynamic 1-5 minute poses) to loosen up and participate in a fun\, fast-paced drawing experience. The second hour will be a few short poses for more detailed drawings leading up to up to two 20-minute poses. \nFee for each session is $10 for Del Ray Artisans members and $15 for non-members.  If you have any questions or would like to participate as a model for our sessions\, please contact LifeDrawing@DelRayArtisans.org. \nView artwork from past DRA Figure Drawing Sessions on Instagram!
