SketchTogether with Cambridge Drawing Society
Join the Cambridge Drawing Society as we kick off the Cambridge Arts Festival with SketchTogether—an inspiring opportunity to sketch alongside talented members of one of the UK’s oldest art societies.
Hosted in the enchanting Museum of Cambridge, this event invites artists of all levels, from seasoned sketchers to complete beginners, to explore their creativity in a welcoming and supportive environment. The museum, located in the historic 16th-century White Horse Inn, houses a fascinating collection of over 40,000 everyday objects that tell the extraordinary stories of ordinary people from the past 300 years.
Bring your sketchbook and pencils to capture the charm of this treasure trove and connect with fellow art enthusiasts. Discover more about the Cambridge Drawing Society, renowned for its bi-annual exhibitions and exclusive SketchTogether sessions and explore Cambridge’s history as you’ve never seen it before.
Let history and art converge to inspire your creativity!
