As part of the exciting Bury Festival of Art programme, we are delighted to be hosting our popular Pen! Paper! Pose! themed costume drawing with music and a relaxed atmosphere.
Whether you’re a seasoned professional or you’ve just picked up a pencil, you can enjoy art, music, prizes, fun and good company. Great to practice your drawing, have a drink with friends and getting to know the artist community of Bury too. And it’s Free!!!
Basic arts materials are available, and The Met’s Nook will be open for a range of drinks.
Throughout the two days of the festival, the Two Crows studios will be open between 10-4pm with pop up activities and we will also have a stall at the Art Museum introducing our brand new very ace instant portrait station!
