After a sold out launch in 2025, 'Beats to Draw to' is back and expanded!

Experience a harmonious blend of art and music, where audiences are invited to participate in creating works of art in the inspiring company of live musical performances.

Hosted at Studio Take Care, this event welcomes artists of all levels, from seasoned professionals to enthusiastic amateurs, to unleash their inner artist while enjoying live music from Naarm’s local scene.

Set to acoustic tunes, the event will feature costumed life drawing (uninstructed), where the music, model and lighting cues synchronise, allowing us to create a dynamic participatory experience. There will be 3 hours of drawing/performances, followed by an hour to mingle, debrief and chill.

Light snacks will be provided.

This event is presented by South By South East Asian (SXSEA) and Multicultural Arts Victoria (MAV) as part of Newprint 4, supported by Creative Victoria and Creative Australia.
This event is sponsored by CDW Studios.
