Drawing Session Club

Orangerie - Bonsai garden

a place for art, culture and contemplation.

LGBTQIA+ friendly space, with a culture anti-racist, anti-classist, collaborative, respectful, kind, open supportive and inclusive to everyone.

For the past 5 years, Drawing Session has been a weekly gathering in Zürich.

A shared space where drawing becomes a tool for observation, communication, and community.

Together, we shape a social sculpture, a living artwork formed through presence, drawing, and exchange.

Everyone is welcome !
We take turns posing while the rest of the group draws, usually in 7-minute intervals.

This is not a class! it’s an open, inclusive practice space. No previous experience is needed. Whether you’re a experienced artist or picking up a pencil for the first time, you’re invited to join.

It’s a simple yet good exercise, for the hand, the eye, and the heart. A moment in the week to slow down, to observe one another, and to express ourselves through drawing.

What do you provide? Should I bring something?
We provide snacks, drinks, A4 papers, pencils, markers, colour pencils and cardboards. Feel free to bring your favourite materials as well and an A4 folder so you can keep all your drawings together safe with your name on it.

How much does it costs?
It works with a sliding scale price
15.- , 20.-, 25.-
Free for refugees.

What does sliding scale means?
Sliding scale is for social equality and inclusivity and social awareness for both sides. For you and the organisation.

What responsibilities do I have as a part of the group?
The basic ones! Come on time and leave the space as you found it when you came♡︎
