Why be a part of the Fall 2024 Cohort Program?
Learn new skills
Experiment with and try new mediums! Deepen skills in mediums you’ve tried. Stretch your creative brain. Become your best creative self this fall.
Be a part of something bigger
Our Back to School series is all about learning and growing, with an emphasis on community-building. Participating is supporting our mission for strengthening community in NYC.
Structure & accountability
Need a little accountability? Join the cohort for that extra push! Doing things with other people who have the same goals is always more fun.
Get the best value
Because you’re buying in bulk, you know you’re getting the best deal! Not only are you getting the steepest discounts, but the semester structure offers so much more, too!
Treat (and care for) yourself!
Creativity is self-care; being creative regularly can help you solve problems more openly and effectively, relieve stress and anxiety, and even improve cognitive function. The only downside is having too much fun!
Why join a Cohort Program at Drawing Room?
Whether you’re an actively creative person or you want to tap back into your creative energy and don’t know where to start, this series is for you.
Learning new things and trying new creative mediums is like learning a new language – a new way to express yourself in the world and connect with other humans…plus a new way to get off our screens and get lost in a meditative flow.
We’ve found that many creative workshops and studios just aren’t designed with community-building at their core. But at Drawing Room, we believe that creativity is an amazing common thread by which to build connection–perhaps because it requires open-mindedness, by definition. So, everything we do here is about deepening connections within the community through our shared love of – or curiosity for – creativity in its infinite forms.
This Back to School series is the culmination of everything we’ve been building here at Drawing Room since our opening in January this year (we know, crazy right?). Take a leap and come experience the magic of Drawing Room this fall and join the very first cohort!
Enrollment is closed as we are now at full capacity! Winter semester announcement coming soon.
