Making art is for everyone
Take time for yourself and your art in great company with other creatives and guidance from a professional illustrator
Art Flow
with Sasha Chagina
“Making art should be exciting, challenging and fun. Art is born somewhere between a lot of bad attempts, thrown away sketches, happy accidents and mainly from artists being inside the flow. We’re not hoping for a perfect picture - quite the contrary - Art Flow challenges us to let go and create freely - meaning that not everything we draw we will like - and that’s the point!” - Sasha Chagina

Next Art Flow:
The first Art Flow of the year takes us to Dox gallery Prague for a small but gold exhibition of Orchan Pamuk - Turkish author and artist, whose work blurs the lines between creative fields. This exhibition is a great opportunity to get your creative fire shining bright (again) as it shows the creative process as alive and ever changing entangled with the artist himself. This exhibition is also a great cure for the fear of the blank page, all sorts of creative blocks, perfectionisms and fears to begin. Gallery visit will be followed up by a discussion in the DOX cafe.
Join us as we explore the creative process behind Orchan Pamuk's work. Access your creativity from different (unsual) angles using the exhibition inspired exercises and tasks.
