Why are we always driving into the sun!?!

About Me

Claymonkey studio is the brainchild of Damian Paradis, Andy Rizzo and Thom Moran and is still a very young child at that.

New Collective Meeting

General topics of discussion include but are not limited to the arts, philosophy, and social change through progressive politics.

Claymonkey Studio Drawing Group

Held Every Tuesday Night 7:00pm-10:00pm

Claymonkey Studio holds drawing groups every Tuesday night. We focus on a long pose for the evening with short gesture drawings in the beginning. Any and all skill levels welcome and appreciated. The space is large and can easily hold 15-20 artists with easels. At present easel availability is limited but there will likely be more in the near future and chairs and some tables are available. Any artist who wishes to bring his own is more than welcome. Those interested in invested in a travel easel for the drawing group can find them at Pearl Arts and Crafts for very economical prices. The fee is $10 and no reservation required. However, we highly recommend you contact us if you have any questions and to get directions.
