Draft & Draw #16 with Brian Butler (Miami)

Draft & Draw is an occasional gathering of those who draw, kicked off by a creative professional who shares the story of coping with their doodling habit. Everyone comes together for three hours of making new friends, drinking local brews (free), eating pizza (free), and drawing all over tables.

In addition to a happy belly, you'll go home with a custom print and pint glass containing artwork by our host, Brian Butler.

This Miami edition of Draft & Draw is made possible by the generosity of our friends at Wix and AIGA Miami. We call New York City home, but we're coming through South Florida thanks to Wix opening their doors to us.

How it works:
Each event is kicked off with a show’n-tell (10–15 mins) by our Host—an inspiring local creative invited to share a glimpse of their work. After that, everyone puts pencil to table and gets drawing. At the end of the night, attendees go home with a pint glass full of goodies, sage words of creative wisdom from our Host, and a bunch of new friends.

What to bring:
All Draft & Draw events are BYOU (bring your own utensils). Bring whatever tools you want to use, such as markers, pens, pencils, or the classic Crayon. We've carefully wrapped the tables as your canvas for the evening, so there's no need to bring a sketchbook.

What we'll provide:
A custom pint glass filled with goodies (including a tool specifically chosen by Brian), a print of Brian's artwork, and enough beer and pizza to make your tummy happy. Pro tip: bring a tote or backpack for safe transportation home!
