Group Drawing Session for All Ages, All Humans

When not performing music under the name Lucky Dragons, Los Angeles-based artists Luke Fischbeck and Sarah Anderson run a drawing collective called Sumi Ink Club. Wielding brushes dipped in ink, they lead group art-making sessions to create intricately detailed, collaborative projects (drawings, murals, wearable art). Anyone and everyone can attend these meetings. According to the collective's official website, Sumi Ink Club is non-hierarchical--open to "all ages, all humans, all styles"--and uses group drawings "as a means to open and fortify social interactions that bleed into everyday life." In other words, pick up a brush and you might just keep, keep bleeding love.

On Sunday, August 31, Sumi Ink Club will host a free group drawing meeting at Golden Age in Pilsen. The lazy Sunday afternoon art session starts at 1 p.m., and Golden Age encourages interested participants to bring "friends, brushes, brains, ears, eyes, and positive attitudes." Afterward, you can catch a Lucky Dragons show at Berry UMC in Lincoln Square. Visit the Lucky Dragons website for more info.
