This group is about meeting people, making friends, and being active.  This is not just a place to drink and date, this is a place to have new experiences and become a part of the community.

This group will focus on drawing, it will embrace all different styles and techniques that exist out there. There will be free meetups as well as paid ones where beginners and kids can learn the basics about drawing while having fun.

For adults and artists this group would be an excuse to draw, I tend to procrastinate myself so I know I will personally benefit from t …

For anyone who wants to improve their drawing skills and get to know their Vilas Zoo fauna better, we meet once a week and draw in a low-key atmosphere mostly populated by small children (their editorial comments are priceless!) and an assortment of fluffy, scaly, and feathery creatures.
