Free walking tour - tips welcomed! Step into the heart of Paris for a lively stroll through the rich history of France! This walking tour begins at the iconic Louvre and winds its way through the elegant Tuileries Gardens, ending at the iconic Place de la Concorde. Along the way, you’ll uncover the fascinating (and often dramatic) story of the French monarchy—from the grandeur of Louis XIV to the turbulent reign of Louis XVI and the legendary Marie Antoinette. Discover the events and tensions that sparked the French Revolution, and relive the moments that reshaped an entire nation. Expect gripping tales, surprising details, and a fresh perspective on how this pivotal period still influences France today. History has never felt so alive—or so close at hand!

Join us for a long pose workshop with a female model, led by figurative artist John Kelly. The session consists of 45 minutes of drawing or painting, followed by a 15-minute break, and then another 45 minutes with the same pose. John will be present throughout the entire session to offer individual guidance on the principles of drawing and painting from life. If you prefer a more self-directed approach, you are welcome to work independently at any time. The workshop is suitable for both beginners and more experienced artists. It offers a supportive environment to develop your artistic style while exploring different aspects of academic drawing or painting, experimenting with new techniques, or refining compositional ideas. It's designed to guide your exploration of the human form through an anatomical lens while capturing the model's emotional presence. As always, posing for you are professional fine art models affiliated with the Beaux-Arts de Paris and other Parisian life drawing ateliers. Please bring your preferred art materials. All media are allowed, including pastels, ink, watercolor, or paint. If you need additional advice on materials, such as oil paints or watercolor paper, please don’t hesitate to contact John directly at jfkellydesign@gmail.com or send us a message. This session doesn't provide a basic drawing materials set. Once again, please remember to bring your own art supplies. **About John Kelly** Born in Paris and raised in New York, John studied at the School of Visual Arts before pursuing a career as an art director and oil painter. He employs traditional oil painting methods while also painting *alla prima*. Influenced by Balthus, Degas, and traditional Japanese prints, his figurative work explores the psychology of the model and the viewer’s gaze. For more details, visit John’s website: johnkellyart.com. We kindly ask everyone to RSVP to secure their spot. If you haven't booked, we reserve the right to deny participation if the session is full. For any questions about a specific session, feel free to contact us via Meetup or email your host / organizer at [deni@lifedrawingmontmartre.com](http://deni@lifedrawingmontmartre.com/) or [maria@lifedrawingmontmartre.com](http://maria@lifedrawingmontmartre.com/) **Early Bird Discount** If you book your spot at least 6 days before the session, you can enjoy a special early bird rate.

Merci de [prendre ta place ici.](https://luma.com/avyfq29z)\*\*​ **📚 Join The Offline Club at Le Kawaa du Lucernaire for a very special edition of our cosy Offline Reading Party.** ​Lock your phone away and immerse yourself in a morning designed to recharge you — with a twist. ​This time, we're celebrating **Slow Art Day** by turning our books into works of art. ​Because here's the thing: your book *is* art. The cover, the typography, the texture of the pages, the way a sentence is constructed. We just rarely slow down enough to notice. ​This reading party is your chance to disconnect from screens, unwind from the daily buzz, and meet like-minded people — while rediscovering your book through a completely different lens. ​A little escape into a different world — where time slows down, people are open to connect, and you can truly focus on yourself. ​The perfect start to your weekend. ✨ *** ​**What to expect:** ​📖 Peaceful (me-)time to read that book you've been meaning to start (or finish!) ​🎨 A Slow Art session that might just change the way you read... forever ​🤝 The chance to meet and connect with like-minded (wannabe) booklovers ​💬 A space where connection comes easily — no rush, no pressure, no notifications ​🫖 Community vibes, a welcoming atmosphere, and plenty of time to relax ​📵 Valuable time offline that leaves you feeling rested and fulfilled ​🇫🇷 🇬🇧 French & English friendly — all our events are bilingual, so you can comfortably speak either language *** ​**The Program:** ​**10:00 – 10:30 \| Arrive & Make Yourself at Home** ​**10:30 – 11:00 \| Slow Art Session** ​We'll begin by looking at our books the way you'd look at a painting in a museum: slowly, curiously, without rushing to "get through it." ​Led by an Art Therapist specialised in Museum Art Therapy and Book Therapy (yes, that's me, Stefania, your city leader 🙋‍♀️), this session will invite you to truly *see* your book before you read it. ​We'll also explore the idea of Slow Reading, because... did you know that's a thing too? ​**11:00 – 12:00 \| Dive Into Your Book** Your time to sit back and enjoy undistracted reading time — perhaps with fresh eyes after the session. ​**12:00 – 13:00 \| Connect With Others** ​Chat and connect with others, but only if you feel like it. ​Meet new people, share stories about your favourite reads, and enjoy meaningful conversations. ​We create laid-back spaces where talking to strangers is the norm and connection is made easy. *** ​**What to Bring** ​Your current read, a book with a cover that makes your heart sing, or both. ​Comics, poetry, graphic novels — all literature is welcome here. Come as you are, bring what moves you. *** ​​**About your phone:** *Your phone will rest in our “phone hotel,” and we’ll be its bodyguards. But just so you know, if it magically disappears, learns to fly, or mysteriously breaks, The Offline Club can’t be held responsible.* ​​*Not quite ready to let it go? No worries — just switch it off and keep it tucked away, out of sight.* *** ​We love and appreciate the venues that host our events! Please remember that your consumption gives the venues one more reason to love us back! *** ​**We can’t wait to swap screen time for real time with you.** ​​Offline hugs, ​​Stefania, The Offline Club Paris

**ATELIER ART THÉRAPIE PAR L’ÉCRITURE** L’association Existencielles propose des ateliers thérapeutiques à médiation artistique, notamment des ateliers d’écriture. Ces ateliers s’adressent à toute personne souhaitant être accompagnée dans les difficultés qu’elle rencontre, par des thérapeutes professionnels. Ils sont également ouverts à un public jeune, ainsi qu’aux adolescent·e·s. Au sein d’Existencielles, nous proposons un espace collectif centré sur l’écriture comme outil thérapeutique, permettant d’explorer et de mieux comprendre ce qui, parfois, nous dépasse ou nous semble difficile à exprimer. L’écriture est envisagée comme un processus : un moyen de déposer, puis de transformer des vécus parfois difficiles à penser ou à dire. Elle favorise l’émergence d’une parole singulière, que chacun·e peut choisir de partager avec le groupe, sans aucune obligation. L’atelier se déroule dans un cadre sécurisé et bienveillant. Aucune compétence en écriture n’est requise. L’accent est mis sur la liberté d’écrire et de raconter, dans un cadre structuré garantissant la confidentialité, le respect et l’écoute. Les propositions d’écriture servent de points d’appui ; elles n’imposent ni forme ni contenu. Chacun·e avance à son rythme. L’atelier articule des temps d’écriture, de lecture volontaire et d’échange, afin de permettre une mise en mots progressive et un travail de symbolisation soutenu par le groupe. **ATELIER ART THÉRAPIE PAR L’ÉCRITURE** **Proposé par :** Marie-Aimée LEBRETON, autrice, art thérapeute Carla SOTO-MESA, thérapeute historienneAvec Marie Accueil des 9h pour commencer à 9h30 précise, merci de votre compréhension **Votre participation :** 90€ **Inscriptions :** 0642789221 \- 0775704986 \| contact@existencielles\.com Sms et réservation pour code d'accès

**Free walking tour - tips welcomed!** Join Paris-see Tours for a playful wander through the cobbled streets of Montmartre, where windmills once turned, absinthe flowed, and Paris showed the world how to party. We’ll dive into the long-gone cabarets and buzzing nightlife that gave birth to Bohemia at the legendary Moulin Rouge, where scandal, can-can, and artists collided. Along the way, we’ll visit the former home of Vincent and Theo Van Gogh. You’ll discover what Montmartre looked like before Georges-Eugène Haussmann reshaped Paris with grand boulevards, hear the dramatic tale of the Paris Commune, and uncover why the Sacré-Cœur watches over the city from the hilltop. We’ll finish our adventure at the romantic Wall of Love, where “I love you” is written in over 250 languages — because after this tour, you just might fall in love with Montmartre too.

The topic for April is "Water" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

This month's prompt concerns the idea of the “warrior philosopher” (seemed appropriate in these times)--that is someone whose understanding of violence, power, and justice is forged through direct experience of war. We are looking at Major General Smedley D. Butler, a highly decorated U.S. Marine raised in a Quaker (pacifist) tradition who later became a prominent critic of American militarism (there is a wonderful biography of Gen. Butler called "Gangsters of Capitalism") Butler's argument in *War Is a Racket* (1935): that many U.S. interventions were driven less by national defense than by corporate and financial interests, with Butler portraying himself as an enforcer for business and Wall Street. We can consider the moral ambiguity of his insider critique—whether complicity strengthens or undermines credibility and also consider some of the concrete reforms he proposed (e.g., “conscript” capital before soldiers, restrict the military to coastal defense, and have only those who fight decide on war). Butler’s life arc clearly changed from pacifist upbringing to warrior to antiwar crusader—and asks whether true understanding of peace requires firsthand knowledge of war, and what that implies about the cost of suffering. So do we need to suffer to understand suffering? Do we have to experience war to appreciate peace? As one more question: in the movie "A Few Good Men" Jack Nicholson's character says that "you have the luxury of not knowing what I know" so do most of us go through life oblivious to real violence and suffering? See you at Drunken Philosophy!
