Why become a member?
Nurture your spark
Creativity fuels how we think, connect, and grow—starting from within. At Drawing Room, we provide the space to nurture your inner world and ignite your unique creative spark. Carve out time for yourself, and step into a community that champions your personal journey, intentional growth, and the power of making meaning every day.
Find your people…and stay connected
Drawing Room is a home for anyone who values creativity in everyday life. Whether you're chatting over tea during Open Hours, connecting mid-workshop, or sharing a table while making, you'll find real moments of connection here. It’s a community where you can grow, share, and feel supported—at your own pace.
Structure & accountability
Creative habits thrive with consistency. Having a welcoming space to return to—and a community cheering you on—can make all the difference. Whether you're aiming to get out of the house more or simply create more often, we're here to help you follow through.
A second home in the city
Come by anytime. With unlimited visits to Open Hours at both our Midtown Manhattan and Williamsburg locations, your membership card is your key to your own creative living rooms across the city.
Get the best value
Being a regular pays off. Members receive the most affordable access to Open Hours, free access to gatherings, exclusive discounts on workshops, early access to offerings, and special perks. It’s the smartest (and most inspiring) way to stay connected.
Build a more creative world, together
At Drawing Room, we believe creativity is essential—not just in art, but in how we think, connect, and shape the world. Our mission is to foster a space where creative sparks grow into action, and where community and collaboration lead to a more thoughtful, connected, and vibrant life.

Also Included for Creative Flow Members
The Creative Flow membership tier includes one workshop credit per month! Choose any workshop from our offerings to enjoy. Workshops are subject to availability and scheduling.
Art Library Access
Each time you visit, enjoy access to our Art Library. Whether you’re sketching, sculpting, or experimenting with new materials, you can use up to 10 points of surfaces from the Library of your choosing for the day. Need more points? Add on additional 10 for $5.
Points are for use during your time in the space — not for pickup-only visits. Points are not transferrable to other guests.
One workshop per month with priority access
Enjoy one workshop each month. Choose from ceramics, drawing, painting, writing, textiles, offsite adventures, and more. Members get to book workshops as soon as they go live, before they open up to the public!
Please note: If you're enrolled in a Journey or Independent Study, your monthly workshop is fulfilled through your Journey sessions. Workshops are non-transferrable and may not be used by guests.
Clay Library Access
Want to make ceramics on your own time after a workshop? Enjoy the tools in our Clay Library. Add-ons include:
25lb bags of clay - $30
Studio-prepped 1-lb pieces of clay - $5
Underglaze tray rental - $8
Looking to learn and grow through a more guided experience?
Our Journeys are thoughtfully curated programs that run in two-month seasonal cycles, combining workshops, community, and membership into a cohesive, hands-on experience.
