We are excited to announce one of our collaborations this year is with Draw by Night!
Described as Vancouver’s only bi-monthly drawing party, Draw by Night’s events are free and open to the public. All they ask is that you come with your favourite drawing utensil or just bring yourself and be ready to draw!
Why are we collaborating with Draw by Night?
Besides the obvious fact that they’re an awesome organization…
Just like Papergirl, Draw by Night aims to engage and network within the drawing and wider community. Myron Campbell, Draw by Night’s founder, began the project four years ago as a means of engaging like-minded creative people from various disciplines. Anyone is welcome to attend and draw -- amateur, hobbyist, doodler and professional artist alike!
While Papergirl "lets go" of artwork by giving it to the unsuspecting public via bicycles, Draw by Night also does not keep the drawings. Instead, they are documented and archived on the pages of their website, then released to the ‘wild’!
Check out their drawings from past events!
Why should you come?
Besides promising to be a fun, high-energy evening…
All attendees will be invited to donate their artwork to Papergirl as a birthday gift for Draw by Night. We hope to inspire to you get in touch with your creative side and connect with the Draw by Night and Papergirl communities.
And now for a personal invitation from Myron to Draw by Night’s fourth birthday party and first collaboration with Papergirl Vancouver:
Bugging out with Papergirl!
It's been a long time coming for Draw By Night and Papergirl to join forces. We are super excited that this month is the month. All for the love of drawing.
It also happens to be our fourth birthday so there is lots to celebrate! The theme this month is Bugs Gone Wild. These bugs are in the mood to party!
Join us for some to draw some waltzing woodticks, or boogey beetles.
The event is free and open to the public. It will take place at 390 West Hastings. There will be materials as well as some snacks!
BYOB (bring your own bugs).
See you soon!
Myron

Hint: Maybe not real bugs. But some plastic ones might be great for drawing inspiration!
