The Drawing Social takes place at AfA Gallery, 514 Lackawanna Avenue, Scranton, PA. every Sunday from 6 to 9 PM unless otherwise noted. All ages and skill levels are welcome. The non-drawing and non-musical are also very welcome to enjoy the show.
Drawing Social combines a drawing group with a live musical performance: the performers being the subject as well as the entertainment. Every week presents a different ensemble of progressive and experimental musicians in a venue allowing them to perform uncompromised to an all-ages Strathmore-toting crowd with expectations extending beyond the current top-40. The music ranges from and merges rock, classical, jazz, hip-hop, gypsy, folk, country, blues, electronic, and the experimental and avant-garde. This venue fosters the interchange of art forms, valuing the development of culture within community over commodity.
EVERY SUNDAY 6-9pm, unless otherwise noted. Walk in at any time and take a seat.
Draw, write, mingle, daydream, or just relax and enjoy the show! AfA Gallery has free wi-fi, so kick back with your laptop.
All Ages!

“It’s improvisational music and improvisational art. A band will play a few sets, and artists (as well as non-artists) will come and draw/paint/sketch/doodle/create to the music. Ted, the organizer of such events, often illustrates the group performing and uses his art as the poster for the next time the group plays. It’s basically the greatest thing to hit Scranton since coal. Seriously though, it is.”
— Chris Connors, of the Scranton Fusion Quartet, Tyler Dempsey Massive, and Chet One Two
