Figure Drawing Class
We’re excited to introduce a new free weekly program at the Van Aken District:
🎨 Community Figure Drawing Nights, starting Monday, April 7, from 7:30–9 PM!
Hosted in our Event Center (above Paloma)
📍 20021 Farnsleigh Road, Shaker Heights, OH 44122
Led by local artist and educator Amanda Lincoln, this casual, drop-in gathering is a welcoming, body-positive space for artists of all skill levels to practice figure drawing in a relaxed, supportive environment. No instructor – just good vibes and creative energy!
🧍♀️ Live (fully clothed) volunteer models from the community
🎨 Artists exchange a drawing with the model each week
🤝 Open to all: beginners to professionals
👜 Bring your own materials (pencils & simple materials)
no registration required!
So, grab your sketchbook and come draw with us. Every Monday night. All are welcome!

Amanda Lincoln | Educator & Artist Based in the Shaker area after working and studying in NYC for about 20 years. She is passionate and interested in many art mediums. Some but not limited to are pop-up cards, ceramics, children’s book drawings, illustrations, and watercolor.
Her inspiration comes from her wonderful husband, Graham, traveling internationally, spending the summers on Mentor Headlands Beach, having served as a Ukrainian Peace Corps volunteer and taking up hobbies that aren’t typical – such as demolition derby, flying planes or slalom water skiing. And finally, being a forever learner and explorer.
Amanda is an active advocate for arts, and literacy in the Cleveland community.
She is on the board at Lawrence School and Kids Book Bank. She’s extremely excited to help Van Aken grow with the artist community and hopefully develop a figure drawing/art class all are welcome to.
