Artsy Hangout ✏️🏡☕️✨
Hello everyone 👩🎨
Bring any art supplies you like and a picnic blanket or chair. We will just be sat on the grass outside the main yellow building doing art together.
If you aren’t sure what to draw the club has a weekly drawing theme, just ask me what the prompt is 😊 There is also a small cafe inside the building for those who want a drink while they draw ☕️
✏️ We welcome all artists of any skill level or medium, Whether you’re a beginner or pro, traditional or digital, absolutely anyone can join.
⚠️IMPORTANT⚠️ Please do not attend if you are sick. I have multiple chronic illnesses so my immune system is extremely weak. Keep everyone safe by staying home if you are unwell.
☔️ If the weather changes there is a small cafe inside we can move into.

Check out our instagram @shypeoplesdrawingclub to see more about our awesome group. We also have a Discord group for online events if you would like to join and chat with more artists. ✨

Throughout the walk, you’ll be gently guided to connect with someone new every so often, creating opportunities to meet a variety of potential matches in a warm and relaxed atmosphere. To make conversations flow with ease, we’ll provide thoughtful dating questions designed to inspire connection and meaningful dialogue.
This event is ideal for singles who are ready to move beyond apps and experience the magic of face-to-face chemistry in a natural, uplifting setting. By the end of the walk, you’ll have shared genuine moments, discovered new connections, and perhaps even taken the first steps toward something special.
6 June: Figurine Painting and Friends-Social
**✨Are you tired of making ‘how are you’ friends? This event is for you!✨**
🎨What better way to build and deepen connections than through a fun activity like **Figurine painting**!
There are many social events but it isn’t easy to feel connected to someone in a large group setting. I am super extroverted yet found myself walking home after a great social feeling more lonely, because of all the superficial connections made. I started Hue&Crew to help people build their next close-friend circle based on age, personality and interest!
🎨**What to Expect**
This isn’t a big mixer event, every event has a limit of 6 people per table and a fishbowl full of conversation starters to help people get started! We move around Melbourne's many beautiful cafes weekly to keep things fresh! Expect:
* A fresh, comfy venue
* A hosted structure so you’re never left awkwardly quiet
* A fishbowl of conversation starters for the introverts
* A relaxed atmosphere where you can genuinely be yourself
* Hand-painted figurines you made yourself to bring home
Each group is curated to feel natural, matched by age, interest and personality
🎨**Notice before you sign up:**
As the events are really small and it might take some time to form a group with similar interests, we will inform you when there is a suitable group for you!
