I’m very excited that a solo exhibition of my wonderful spoonie friend’s is now open at The Lowry!
‘Stories For Us’ by the very talented Julian Gray launched this week, along with a number of amazing (& wheelchair accessible, ofc) workshops, events and weekly drawing clubs.
Image Description: A hand-drawn sketch of two men. One is facing forward, looking ahead with a concerned expression. Behind him are some vague figures, and the second man, who is drawn from the side, with his arms folded, looking down.
Stories For Us Weekly Drawing Club
Still ill OK is very excited to be facilitating a weekly Drawing Club at The Lowry for the duration of the exhibition. These free drawing socials will be held every Wednesday 6-7pm in the (wheelchair accessible) Gallery A space at The Lowry. Some materials will be provided, but you are both welcome and encouraged to bring anything you’re currently working on, or your own sketchbook and tools.
Free weekly drawing socials for artists who feel their stories are rarely represented in mainstream media, including but not limited to creatives who are trans, queer, disabled, neurodiverse, and/or people of colour. Chat and draw in a relaxed space.
Drawing materials will be provided, but feel free to bring your own. Artists working in any form of media, whether digital or traditional, are welcome. Sessions are facilitated by Ellie Page (i.e. Yours Truly) who is a queer, disabled, arts practitioner.
