Draw By Night – Kelowna is an ongoing bi-monthly public event held periodically at the Alternator Centre, Kelowna Art Gallery, the Kelowna Museums and BNA Brewing that promotes creativity, imagination and collaboration through the process of drawing.
It is a social drawing party which asks its participants to collectively and freely draw in a social setting on large rolls of paper. The objective is to be surrounded by like-minded creative individuals and ask them to draw under one theme, often related to the current exhibition, in an informal setting that promotes networking and inspiration.
Participants converse visually through collaborative drawing or are inspired by others to produce something individually. The aim is to engage creative people from various disciplines throughout the community including students, industry professionals, visual artists, hobbyists and the general public and get them all drawing!
