Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery Discover the joy in drawing BookAbout The Joy of Drawing with Curtis Holder
Join us for a fun and interactive live drawing session with award winning artist Curtis Holder, perfect for families of all ages! Watch as Curtis brings drawing to life, showcasing his creative techniques while inspiring everyone to rediscover the joy of drawing and making marks.
This event takes place in our currently empty galleries, a rare opportunity to see these unique spaces before they are redeveloped and artwork is hung back on the walls! Enter via the Wild City Gallery.
This hands-on event is great for all experience levels, and we have easels, boards, paper and pencils ready for everyone to enjoy. Curtis will be there to guide you with helpful tips and tricks, making sure everyone feels comfortable as they explore their own creativity.
Inspired by dancers and Pre-Raphaelite paintings, you’ll have the chance to respond to the same creative inspirations Curtis explores in his exhibition Curtis Holder: Drawing Carlos Acosta. Embrace the movement and beauty of dance, and let the elegance of classical poses guide your own drawing experience.
Whether you're a budding artist or simply want to have fun drawing together as a family, this is a wonderful chance to learn, create, and enjoy the artistic process in a relaxed and inspiring setting. Don't miss out on this exciting event!
Accessibility: This event is fully accessible by lift and does not require the use of stairs. For more detail see the accessibility page.
