Art Drawing Speed Date w/ Saint Akua


Saturday 7th August, 2-4pm
Free, Limited Spaces ︎︎︎ Book Here



Art Drawing Speed Date

Bringing in ideas surrounding her practice, painting not who people are but what they are in order to make them relatable, Saint Akua invites participants to join her for an art drawing speed dating experience.

Bringing together people in Milton Keynes following lockdown, these one on one drawing sessions aim to restore a sense of belonging to MK and encourage participants to make new connections, using prompted questions to get to know each other, and paint/draw them based not on how they look but on what they have learned about them.
