You are invited to a listening and drawing party with Arts Project Australia (APA) artist and music lover James Dawes, staff artist Carolyn Hawkins, and APA staff alumni Dani Hakim.
Render your favourite album cover with coloured pencils to the tune of a curated playlist by Dawes, whose artistic practice is known for lovingly depicting every strand of hair upon his favourite musicians’ heads.
This workshop takes place within Devoted To You, an exhibition about music fandom curated by your hosts. The session will also feature a conversational curator talk while drawing divas together.
