WHO

Everyone (18 years old and over) is welcome to take part in the salons.

Art Macabre Drawing Salons (formerly known as Death Drawing) offer a playful, relaxed opportunity to spend an evening exploring different medium and whilst some inspiration and ideas are shared, it’s up to you how you choose to interpret the poses and scenes created and how seriously you take your sketching.

We believe that everyone can draw and people who come having not drawn since school and saying that they can’t have often left encouraged at their new art work and inspired to keep developing their new confidence in putting pen to paper.

Art Macabre Drawing Salons are run by event producer and generally creative creature Raven Rouge (aka Nikki Shaill) supported by an evolving team of different artists, volunteer models and other talented people who she like to collaborate with. New ghastly crew members always welcome!

Death Drawing and Art Macabre Drawing Salons would not be what they are today without the input of Lucinda ‘Lux’ Chell or Lux DeLuxe. The designer of our fantastic logo and creator of all of the perfect playlists, Lux’s artistic talents, creative passion and enthusiasm has contributed immensely to the development of the salons. Whichever side of the drawing board, whether hosting, posing, drawing, staying up late making props and costumes, photographing, baking or shaking her thing…her contributions and collaborations will be missed immensely and she will never be replaced but her creative ideas and passion for all things skull-shaped and poetically gothic live on through the salons. We <3 Lux DeLuxe.

Our models are artists, burlesque performers, musicians, rollergirls, dancers or just friends eager to pose nude. Interested in appearing at the salons and got an idea for that something special you could bring to the theme? We're dying to hear from you.

Cass Art are our generous, supportive sponsorts, allowing us to lavish you with the finest quality materials at each salon. It's great to be working in partnership with the best art stores in town to help fill this town with artists!
