Our DRAW program began a residency at Chelsea Market this weekend, offering locals, visitors, and shoppers a place to sit and draw together. Special thanks to the folks at Manhattan Fruit Market, who created a large still life that was a hit. Thanks also to our Artist-in-Residence, Hui Ma, and staff Yifan Wu (artist as well). Come find DRAW every Sunday from 11am-2pm through March 3 on the lower level of the market, called Chelsea Local. Visit our calendar for more dates, directions, and details. Special activities every week. Next up: an activity created by Bowery Kitchen Supply! Made possible by Chelsea Market.
