The Journey Gallery

The Journey Gallery offers a home for the experiments, projects, and stories that grow out of Drawing Room’s Journeys.

Born from our Cohort and Intensive Programs, The Journey Gallery is a space that celebrates process over perfection, a reflection of the vibrant energy we have witnessed in every showcase and final night since our very first Journey.

Located in the workshop room of our Williamsburg space, the Journey Gallery is where the spirit of exploration continues. It is a place to share your in progress experiments, your quiet sketches, your bold ideas, and to keep the conversation between makers alive long after class ends.

We see the gallery as a gathering ground, a space of inspiration and connection for our community of artists and dreamers. A place to honor the small acts of creativity that shape who we are.

Here, we are not seeking “masterpieces.” We are celebrating the joy of making, the sketchbook pages, collage journals, hand sewn books, felted creatures, block printed tomatoes, and poems scribbled during lunch breaks.

Every piece tells a story of curiosity, play, and growth.
