Join artist Ross McHale for a drawing session inspired by our AIB Portrait Prize and AIB Young Portrait Prize exhibitions. 

Drawing the Collection is a monthly, adult-focused workshop held on the last Thursday of each month. Each session takes inspiration from a painting or an exhibition, giving participants the chance to draw directly from works in the galleries with guidance from the facilitating artist. All materials are provided by the Gallery.

This month, we’re taking inspiration from both the AIB Portrait Prize and the AIB Young Portrait Prize. Former Young Prize exhibitor Ross McHale will be leading the session, exploring how to create a portrait and how different elements can be used to reflect social themes and individual personalities in the work

  • This class is suitable for beginners and more experienced artists.    
  • The sessions will take place at 1pm and 3.30pm and will last 85mins.
  • Participants must book in advance.
