Raw Figs: True Art Live Figure Drawing

Live improv performers create spontaneous characters and poses for a drawing session set within the theatrical world of True Art. Taking place Sunday, December 6, at GableStage at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, the event closes Miami Art Week with timed sketching sessions ranging from 30 seconds to 20 minutes. This edition of Raw Figs is presented in partnership with Tinder.

Raw Figs is a South Florida figure-drawing pop-up that collaborates with local venues to bring artists, models and newcomers together through informal, self-guided drawing sessions. All ages and experience levels are welcome, including participants with no drawing experience.

The setting draws on GableStage’s regional premiere of Jessica Provenz’s True Art, a comedy about an art history graduate whose museum job draws her into a world of ambition and deception. Improv performers serve as models for the drawing event, which follows the play’s matinee.

All drawing materials are provided, and the evening includes a 30-minute intermission and a donation bar. Discounted tickets to see True Art will also be available. Registration is through Luma, with attendance limited to 100 guests.
