Really unique space and cool people. Prompts are given but not enforced, giving you flexibility but keeping you from getting too weighed down on the details

So happy and proud to see Life Drawing Boston grow into the new space!! Every time I’m in the city - I come to this beautiful event!! Huge shoutout to David, the founder

Fun place to draw, paint and socialize. Can get very crowded so I recommend getting there on the earlier side to get a good seat. Not necessarily the best choice if you want quiet drawing time. Crowd leans a bit young and there is an emphasis on socializing. That being said if you do just want to draw quietly and keep to yourself it is possible.

David makes sure this space is comfortable, inclusive, and validating for whoever shows up. There really are people from all backgrounds and all “levels.” Ultimately, you have to do the work not compare yourself - but the people here really aren’t judging your work: they too are just happy to have a relaxed space to be creative. Cool community. A mix of people come with friends and arrive solo - so no reason not to show up and be comfortable and draw something weird/pretty/fun.
