Art programming has been taking place at NADAS since we opened and has been integral to growing our creative community. Previous programming included a weekly art group, exhibitions, Nadas'a Bırak Artist Residency, and open-level art classes and workshops covering mediums such as drawing, collage, charcoal, watercolour, urban sketching, figure drawing, and printmaking.
Art workshops continue on an occasional basis. For updates, follow us on instagram.

figure drawing
Figure drawing at Nadas invited those new and experienced to develop drawing and painting skills whilst working with a live model; an invaluable and sometimes hard-to-come-by opportunity. Sessions included guided workshops introducing techniques such as gesture drawing and multiple mediums, as well as a weekly figure drawing group with no formal instruction, open to all for a small fee.
