We were previously taught that art is a paintbrush and paper but today has shown us that art is a huge world. City Lions is a good thing to do as it provides really good opportunities to visit places like this (Somerset House).

Drawing Lab
Get ready to rethink everything you know about drawing!
Drawing Lab is a playful, confidence-building workshop where we’ll explore what drawing can be. What happens when you try to draw a pineapple with the wrong hand? Can a battery-powered chihuahua make its own masterpiece? What does a self-portrait look like when you're standing on one leg with your eyes closed?
This is your chance to experiment, have fun, and try something new. Whether you're a seasoned sketcher or just curious, this workshop is all about creativity, exploration, and shaking up the rules.
You'll also get to meet new people and discover more about The Showroom—a space with a rich history of radical art practice and rethinking what a gallery is and who it’s for.
No experience needed, just bring your imagination! All materials provided. Ages 7-13

Badges of Protest
Join us at The Showroom—a space of solidarity, community, and protest for over 40 years!
In this hands-on workshop, we’ll dive into the powerful history of protest badges. From anti-war messages and climate action to LGBTQ+ rights, badges have long been used to speak out and stand up for what matters.
Got something to say? Want to stand up for a cause? Now’s your chance to make your voice heard! Using found images, drawing, and collage, you'll design and create your very own protest badge to wear with pride.
Come and get creative, make a bold statement, and be part of a legacy of resistance and change.
All materials provided. Open to young people of all abilities. Ages 11-16

Chalk Pavement Workshop
Chalk pavement drawing, inspired by The Showroom Mural Commission: Nassim Azarzar – Hayat al Noujoum / La vie des étoiles
In this outdoor workshop, the pavement becomes your studio!
:
What’s your journey? How did you get here?
Maybe it was the number 6 bus, a quick walk from around the corner, or maybe your story spans countries and oceans. Whether your journey is simple or complex, long or short, this is your chance to share it—visually, playfully, and together—on the streets of Church Street.
Artist Nassim Azarzar reflects on migration and movement through symbols and stories. In this workshop, you’ll add your own mark to a shared artwork that celebrates how we all arrive at The Showroom, from near and far.
All ages welcome. No experience needed—just bring your story and your imagination!
