On JULY 4, Wendy Sharpe AM FRSM returns to take a life drawing class for Bondi Fest 2026, at the Bondi Pavillion Art Gallery!
The cult-favourite, feel-good drawing club is back for another year! Body positive, inclusive and utterly uncompetitive, Gladdy Drawing Club combines life drawing and performance. Grab a pencil and get cosy in Bondi Pavilion Art Gallery, surrounded by the finalist artworks of the 2026 Waverley Art Prize.
This year’s lineup is stacked with Gladdy Drawing Club favourite models, finalists from the Waverley Art Prize and the return of the incredible Wendy Sharpe!
Hosted by Total Bore and Noni Cragg, Gladdy Drawing Club run regular events at the Lord Gladstone Hotel, with new models weekly. Catering to all levels of experience, the atmosphere of GDC is much more like a drawing club than a formal class. Making Gladdy Drawing Club a safe place for female, queer and non-binary artists is GDC’s number one priority. They create the perfect space to come and draw, share and have fun.
