Our Story

We are a London based, POC run collective that focuses on uplifting marginalised bodies and making art accessible for everyone. Our aim is to provide a fresh take on what life drawing can be, so that you can switch off from the world, practise your drawing, and socialise within an informal environment.

We are a group of artists who met back in 2012 at a regular life drawing class in East London, before starting our own in 2017, launching at a pub called The Macbeth hence our Shakespeare inspired name “2B Or Not 2B Collective!”.

As well as running our own workshops, providing sessions for corporate environments to working with kids in schools and consulting for brands, we’ve also worked with renowned institutions and companies such as the National Gallery, Royal Academy, NHS, Kew Gardens, Saatchi Gallery, Lululemon, to name a few.

Come join our next session and tap into an international network of talented, friendly and open artists, we’d love to have you along!
