Drawing America: Promoting the Art of Drawing in America
Drawing America shares listings of drawing sessions throughout the United States (many free) at museums, School and smaller studios. We make sure our listings meet a high standard of quality so you can feel confident when attending.
We look forward to sharing other resources with our community, including information about drawing exhibitions, contests and creative job availabilities we discover.
We are always looking for information about drawing sessions, exhibitions, and other drawing-related news.
Please feel free to message us on Meetup to let us know about opportunities you would like us to look at.
Thank you for joining us and we look forward to drawing together soon.

Justin and his family travel full time across the American West — chasing light through national parks, painting the world as it unfolds in front of them. His method is built on presence: committing to a moment before it disappears.
He brings the same directness to teaching. Students consistently describe his classes as the moment something finally clicked — a practical, experience-tested approach rooted in color, pigment, and light, drawing on the masters (Zorn, Sargent) while staying firmly grounded in what's directly in front of him.1 attendee
