As part of Nuit Blanche 2023, McGill Visual Arts Collection invited participants to our Visible Storage Gallery after hours for an evening of sketching!
Participants were welcomed in from the cold to discover some of McGill University’s most significant and diverse works of art in a beautiful gallery space in the heart of the McLennan Library. For this special Nuit Blanche event, we introduced the art collection and invited guests to “De-Stress + Sketch” one artwork in the gallery – sketching supplies were provided. There are over 50 works of Canadian, Indigenous and international art, both historical and contemporary on display in the Visible Storage Gallery to be inspired by. This activity allows us to spend time really connecting with these artworks; focusing on the details, admiring the composition, form, and colours.
Thank you to all who came out!
