Unleash your creativity! Esplanade at Aventura, South Florida’s hottest new dining, shopping and entertainment destination, is partnering with Raw Figs, a local organization hosting pop-up figure drawing classes throughout the region, for artists of all ages and skill levels to gather and explore the human form in a fun and supportive environment. The donation-based event is taking place outdoors near Shimmer, the artful fountain designed by the same designers as the famed Fountains of Bellagio in Las Vegas, providing a scenic backdrop to the class. Running from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., the session features a minimally clothed model.

Materials like pencils, charcoal and paper are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, though participants are encouraged to bring their own. Donations are appreciated to help support the continuation of these community drawing sessions.

Before the main event, attendees 21 and over are welcome to visit participating restaurants, JOEY Aventura, Pinstripes, The Amalfi Llama and Jarana, to take advantage of Sip and Social Wednesdays! This weekly promotion offers a $15 mix-and-match appetizer and drink pairing from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m.

What better way to get over the mid-week slump than with an amazing happy hour special and an interactive figure drawing class? There is none!
