Artist Rachel Lawson invites you to an easygoing afternoon of sketching, crafting, conversation, and community. This Drawing Social is open to everyone, whether you’re a practiced artist, a curious beginner, or simply looking for a cozy space to unwind. Bring along a small project or draw inspiration from your surroundings, sip on something delicious from the bar, and bask in the simple joy of making art together.
Rachel Lawson is a self-taught, neurodivergent artist based in Johnson City, TN. Her work is rooted in playfulness, color, and quiet rebellion which also sets the tone for a gathering that celebrates creativity in all its forms.
Blue’s Brews is a small coffee shop, bar and eatery stocking homemade syrups and seasonal menus. It provides the perfect backdrop for an afternoon of connection and creativity. Just show up, settle in, and sketch at your own pace.
