'Drawing makes you see things clearer, and clearer and clearer still, until your eyes ache.' David Hockney (1937 - date) English artist Founded by Karen Logan in January 2022 and now run by a group of regulars, Draw Derby is a free, monthly, outdoor, all welcome gathering in Derby city centre. Come and meet likeminded others and DRAW together! Bring a curious and playful attitude, jump in and have a go! Draw Derby welcomes complete beginners and those experienced in drawing. Draw Derby is: ✏️ A love letter to Derby from it's citizens (and beyond) ✏️ Simple - same place, same time, the last Saturday of the month throughout the year ✏️ Free - the monthly gatherings will always be free ✏️ Outside - being visible, a provocation in the city ✏️ Connecting with place - through regular and repeated engagement ✏️ Drawing together - an opportunity to find drawing kin ✏️ Building community - who hears the call? ✏️Welcoming - anyone who wants to draw ✏️ Gentle accountability - to show up and draw ✏️ Self-directed - for participants to use the time in whatever way suits them, under the umbrella of Draw Derby How does it work? We meet by The Waterfall in the Market Place at 10.30am on the last Saturday of the month throughout 2025. We move to another location after an hour for a different viewpoint in the city. After two hours we share drawings and exchange supportive feedback outdoors or in a local arts venue or cafe (if this is something you'd like to do - no one will be forced to share). Please bring something to draw with and something to draw on. There are no rules about materials. No materials provided. We all draw. This is not a tutored event. You draw what you see, in your own way. What will we draw? The city space will provide our inspiration, draw what's around you and focus on whatever catches your eye. Travel Information Parking is available nearby at Bold Lane and Chapel Street car parks and parking cards can be validated at the Museum and Art Gallery or the Museum of Making to give a discounted rate of £2.70 for a day. There are frequent and regular bus services into the city centre, operated by Trent Barton and Arriva. Derby Bus Station is a 5 minute walk away. The Market Place is a 20 minute walk from Derby Train Station. What happens in bad weather? Sites will be chosen with the weather forecast in mind, so on rainy days we will draw in locations with overhead shelter. What do I need to do?
