Drawing Abroad

We are excited to announce that Drawing Abroad is back, and this year, we are heading to Lille, France – a city rich in architectural history, intricate details, and spatial diversity.

Do you enjoy sketching but struggle to find the time outside of your studies? This weekend offers a chance to step away from the rush of academic deadlines and immerse yourself in drawing only!

Hélène Aarts and AnArchi, in collaboration with Robin Schaeverbeke, professor at KU Leuven, invite you to join a weekend dedicated to exploring Lille through the lens of drawing. ✏🗒

From May 29th to 31st, we will walk the streets of Lille, drawing boards in hand, alongside students from KU Leuven. Throughout the weekend, we will engage in structured drawing exercises that provoke creative expression.

This year’s theme, “Scale & Detail”, challenges us to observe architecture at different levels – capturing the grand composition of urban spaces while also focusing on intricate materiality and ornamentation. 🏭

Practical Information:
Participation fee: €145 (includes travel, accommodation & museum entries)

Deadline to register: April 6th, 23:59
