Porto Drawing Club
Find out more via the PDC Linktree!
In collaboration with the artist Eliana Manuel Pinho Porto Drawing Club held its first session in April 2024. The set-up is based on the established Lisbon Drawing Club, who continue to support us.
PDC sessions are fun, social events, using drawing to better understand each other and ourselves, promoting freedom of expression, community and understanding.
We are led by our ethos, whose principles are:
We are committed to:
- working empathetically with a diverse community of models, representing all bodies, genders and identities.
- a socially-engaged approach which supports all groups, including LGBTQIA+, seniors, neighbourhood groups, migrants, and more.
- donation-based sessions, supporting access for people with less financial capacity, such as students, people in vulnerable situations or people with less privileged circumstances.
Despite being new, we have already worked with Mercado do Bolhão and Bombarda Art District, two of the most culturally vibrant places in Porto.
