THE STORY BEHIND OVERDRESSED
I always felt overdressed everywhere I went. So I created a night where dressing up is not something you apologise for. It is the whole point.PHOTOS AND VIDEOS

Terrible Art Day: Funniest way to meet new people
Ruby Lissi Hotel Vienna by IHG, Fleischmarkt 19, 1010 Wien, Austria, Wien, ATWe’re bringing our popular Terrible Art format to Vienna! Meet new people by drawing each other with ridiculous prompts, where a questionable portrait is all part of the fun. See our Instagram .
Terrible at drawing? Perfect. No artistic skills are needed. And if you can draw, prepare to try your non-dominant hand.
How it works- You’ll be paired with different people throughout the afternoon and draw each other.
- We’ll give you ridiculous prompts. Think your partner as a grumpy cat or a potato. It’s a little like karaoke, but with pencils.
- At the end of each round, you’ll sign your masterpiece and give it to your partner.
- You’ll leave with The Cursed Collection: a collection of hilarious, wonderfully weird portraits of yourself.
Come alone or bring friends. We’ll pair you up for the rounds, giving you someone to draw and a shared activity to start chatting over.
All materials are provided. We use only ordinary pencils—no coloured pencils or liquid paints. Please don’t bring your own art materials. Just bring your sense of humour!
Drinks are ordered and paid for individually at the bar.1 attendee
