Admin Monday 5th MAY 2014

Updates:

Our 30-day drawing challenge is right around the corner! Get ready for action on the 1st of June 2014. Myself and the other Pub Scrawl admins have worked hard on a really, really good list of topics this year, I'm really looking forward to unveiling them and seeing everyone's Art! Sharpen your pencils.

Our new "sister" group, Urban Sketchers Galway has become an official member of the Urban Sketching movement. Call into our blog or come join us at our next event for more.

Speaking of just around the corner, our friends at Dr. Sketchy's Galway are soon having their next event, on the 15th of May. The theme is "Back to the Future", so book your tickets now.

091 labs have moved location. Call into one of their open nights on Tuesdays to get a look at their new space on Raleigh Row.

AND - go join the Galway Game Craft event 2014 for a fun weekend of making computer games - they need Artists as much as they need coders, etc. It looks like a great time.
