Lisbon Drawing Club

The Lisbon Drawing Club is a community of life model drawing lovers who meet regularly to draw and hang out. Based on the principles of Community, Inclusion, Practice and Fun, they have been organizing weekly meetings in different cultural/social locations in Lisbon, since May 2021.

Drawing together is a great way to get to get to know each other and also to get to know ourselves. Drawing can be a vehicle for emancipation, belonging and awareness.

The group is interested in working with a diversity of models that reflect the richness of our social heritage and encourage a practice of empathy, working with a plurality of bodies, gestures and identities represented by professional models, artists, folk groups, migrants, LGBTQI+ people, seniors, inhabitants of different neighborhoods and others. They organize monthly drawing classes (masterclasses) with guest artists.

The group is currently composed of Lígia Fernandes (PT), Nicole Sánchez (PT), Marianne Maina (FR), Susanne Malorny (DE), Rita Dias (PT), Joana Leal (PT), Simone Lackner (AT), Greg Hannan ( UK), Daniela Viçoso (PT), Rita Bourbon (PT).
