Online events

South London Gallery have a weekly Bad Drawing Club

Bad Drawing Club has moved online, on the SLG’s Instagram, @SouthLondonGallery on Thursdays at 3.30pm. For Bad Drawing Club, the Big Family Press use humour and unconventional methods of mark-making to doodle, copy, scribble and experiment with different approaches to drawing. Together, the group question what makes a drawing ‘bad’, and who gets to say something is ‘bad’ in the first place.

Bainbridge Studios – Big little Artists

http://bainbridgeprint.com/big-little-artists

The theme is simple – Artwork that responds to the Coronavirus lockdown. Artworks can be from real life, maybe the view looking out of your window or something in your house. Or use your imagination to completely make something up, like a battle between the virus and the NHS. It’s up to you! Every fortnight one entry will be chosen and reproduced into a limited edition print. The winning artist will receive their own copy of the print, while the edition will be for sale with all proceeds going to the www.trusselltrust.org – A fantastic charity that supports a nationwide network of food banks. All artworks will be on the gallery page below and when life returns to normal, they will be arranging a public exhibition of the winning artworks along with the runners up.
