The doodles began back in 2007 when Robin Peters and Michael Snowdon joined forces to create an artistic socializing event for those with a love of art and scrawling on tables.
Draw the Line is a free event and open to all - no art credentials required! Materials are provided for you, but you
can always bring your own favorite chunky marker or brush... all you
have to do is turn up and leave your mark!
Uniting on the 1st Thursday of every month under the flag of Django's Riff, Draw the Line has extended off the page to other such notable venues as reviewed below...
Django's Riff / Wood st
Situated below the Open Eye Gallery providing affordable drinks and cocktails to aid your inspiration and social
lubrication. Listen to open mic hip-hop from the Watchu Say'n? crew, sit in booths and gander at the graff artworks.
