In drawing, nothing is better than the first attempt.

Our Story

The Moon and Nude launched in 2011. A creative platform and a collaborative organisation – our primary aim is to make life drawing an activity that everyone feels confident to take part in, regardless of skill level or experience.

Participatory art has so many wonderful benefits – it’s therapeutic; it provides an escape for the mind; it builds confidence and it forges friendships. We’re committed to sharing all these rewards and more.

"I've never felt remotely creative and the idea of life drawing always felt very daunting, however after eventually making myself try life drawing I felt so chuffed with myself and felt really relaxed at the session."
