RSUA's Women in Architecture NI are drawing the week to a close with a Friday evening of making/sketching/painting along with brief presentations from architect-artists and BYO drinks. 

Taking inspiration from London-based Anna Gibb's isolation escapes (enter the Big Inky Raffle for the original by 31 May), we invite you to draw or paint an architectural gem you would happily isolate in... Alternatively, engage in the mindful bliss of adult colouring-in, with a specially commissioned print by Anna Gibb which will be forwarded in advance for you to print at home. The original drawing will be given away, along with other prizes, in a random draw among participants on the night. 

The evening will be punctuated by three 5 minute presentations by talented Northern Ireland architect-artists Jane Larmour, Nadine Graham and Mark Donnelly, with relaxed discussion in between.
