Join us for our first illustration meetup of the year, an afternoon dedicated to shaping the future of our growing group.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll meet at Le Pavillon des Canaux (19e)<\/strong><\/a> for a relaxed creative session with plenty of drawing, chatting, and exchanging ideas. As always, please bring your sketchbook and drawing materials. We\u2019ll also have a few playful activities prepared to spark ideas and collaboration.<\/p>\n

The main focus of this meetup will be a collective one. Together, we\u2019ll work on choosing our group name and logo<\/strong>, taking a shared moment to define what we\u2019re building and the values we want to carry forward.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re a regular, new to the group, or joining us after a break, this is a lovely way to start the year feeling connected and inspired.<\/p>\n
