Join us for an evening of festive fun in the cosy Playroom – at The Playhouse Bar in Norwich. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the season with your fellow illustrators and get to know your creative community! Free meet up, just RSVP here.

Please bring your favourite sketchbooks and your trusty drawing materials because it’s a ‘show and tell’ like no other. They’ll be the chance to share your creative journey, latest projects, and the illustrations that have made this year memorable. We can’t wait to chat about the incredible projects we’ve all worked on in 2023. Exchange stories, ideas, and inspiration with your fellow illustrators.

And, of course, we’ll set our creative New Year’s resolutions. What will you achieve in the world of illustration in 2024? How would you like to improve your creative practice next year? Let’s brainstorm together!

This event is all about fostering a community of artists, so come prepared to connect, collaborate, and create. It’s a festive gathering you won’t want to miss.

To take part please sign up (for free!) and meet us on December 13th at the Norwich Playhouse Bar for a jolly good time. Don’t forget your sketchbooks, your art supplies, and your holiday spirit!

When: Wednesday 13th December, 6-9pm

Materials: Please bring your favourite drawing supplies. We would recommend a sketchbook so your paper is supported as we might not have table space for everyone. We will supply some paper, pencils, pens and New Years Resolutions questionnaires.

Parking: The closest parking area is at St Andrews Car Park, 2 Duke St, Norwich NR3 3AT
