AIGA Philadelphia Drink and Draw

Drink and Draw

Drink and Draw is back again! This time we will be at UPenn's Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) in West Philly. The fun begins at 6pm with our guest host, James Todd. He'll chat with us about his work and provide a short lettering tutorial. Draw and socialize with local creatives (and check out the art!). We’ll provide plenty of markers and paper, but you can bring your preferred drawing tools as well. Snacks and beverages will be provided.

Registration is free and open to AIGA members and non-members, but we ask that you RSVP so we can provide an appropriate amount of supplies.

Thank you to our materials sponsor Artist & Craftsman Supply Philadelphia!
