About this event

Arts • Fine Art

Studio KIND is excited to invite you to a unique Drink and Draw evening exploring the pagan roots of Christmas. This free, immersive event welcomes artists of all levels to gather, sketch, and celebrate ancient traditions in a relaxed and festive atmosphere.

Attendees are encouraged to bring their own beverages as we delve into the rich mythologies that predate modern Christmas—drawing inspiration from Greco-Roman festivals such as Saturnalia and Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, as well as the Norse and Celtic traditions that are so much a part of the modern Christmas experience. The gallery will be transformed with evocative imagery and decor that pays homage to these ancient winter celebrations.

The night will feature models posing in themed costumes, bringing to life various Dionysian/Bacchanalian tableaus. Throughout the evening, a live musician will perform a pagan-inspired soundtrack to further enhance the atmosphere and spark your creativity.

Join us for an evening of art, myth, music, and merriment as we explore the wilder roots of the holiday season.
