What to expect
During the Museum’s Friday Late opening, a professional designer or illustrator sets a sketching task inspired by the museum’s permanent collection or most recent exhibition. Participants are then invited to tour the museum and sketch what excites them about contemporary design and architecture, before sharing their finished work at the end of the evening.
To celebrate International Women’s Day, this sketch will focus on the theme of New Monuments for Women. Led by illustrator Alva Skog, the event will begin with a short presentation by Alva on her work and approach to illustration. After this, you are invited to draw a monument or portrait of a woman or non-binary person you admire. Drawing on the museum’s collection and architecture for inspiration, we will work with exaggerated perspective, space and body positions to create a series of images.
With thanks to MOO, the first 100 people to sign up for the evening will receive complimentary MOO products to sketch on and the opportunity to join a 15-minute workshop at the start of the evening.
Please note that the museum is open until 21:00, please help yourself to a drink after the workshop.
