About us
Drawing New York is the largest art-making Meetup in the world! Make new friends while drawing together. We are a community of over 14,000 members who love to improve our drawings and paintings!
We are situated within the historic mansion of The National Arts Club, located on Gramercy Park South in Manhattan, New York. You do not need to be a club member to attend.
DNY helps people make "real and tangible progress" with their drawings, whether they are absolute beginners, intermediate sketchers, or professional artists.
We meet several times a week, in person and online to draw from a live model. We have both instructed and uninstructed classes.
Drawing New York hosts full-day workshops with exceptional drawing and painting teachers, presenting artist demonstrations and drawing competitions.
DNY also creates original content for museums and cultural institutions in New York City including The Morgan Library, The Museum of The City of New York, and The Museum of Arts and Design.
We hope this group provides a place to practice drawing and learn about exciting drawing sessions and exhibitions throughout New York.

Collage Night
15 Gramercy Park South, 15 Gramercy Pk S, New York, NY 10003, USA, New York, NY, USCollage Night is a creativity-boosting workshop where people can gather and express themselves through collage! Everyone is welcome and no art experience is necessary to participate in the class.
In this smaller workshop, you will receive a brief overview of collage history, learn about collage techniques, and receive an assignment to work on during most of the class. At the end of class, we’ll regroup to look at everyone’s pieces and have a chance to dive deeper into the work through discussion.
All materials will be provided (scissors, glue, magazines, paper, etc.), but you are also highly encouraged bring any other materials you want to work with. Anything can be collage material if you want it to be!There is no pressure & no judgement, as each person’s collage style brings something different to the table. Let’s work with our hands, use our brains differently, learn about collage, and maybe find some healing and inspiration through the process!
