Drawing in the Galleries
August 17, 6 to 9 p.m.
Pencil yourself in for some time to draw in the galleries! Join the High Museum on the third Friday of every month from 6 to 9 p.m. during Friday Jazz for a complimentary figure drawing opportunity to enhance your visit to view the Museum’s Permanent Collection and special exhibitions. Each month, a live model—in costume, will be positioned in the galleries for patrons and visitors to see and capture with pencil and paper! A special guest will facilitate these life-drawing opportunities for everyone to enjoy. The model will be positioned for short-term poses, ideal for gesture drawing and quick sketches; pencils, paper and drawing boards will be provided.
