Drawing Circle is a weekly, all-levels life-drawing workshop held inside the Paul Robeson art gallery at Express Newark, inviting participants to draw from a live model in a supportive, communal setting. As a featured program within Drawing Room, drawings created during each session are installed on the walls of the gallery, gradually activating the space throughout the season, and becoming part of an evolving exhibition shaped by collective learning and practice.
