About this event

There’s something special about pausing the weekend rush to sketch, chat and soak in the city from above. Still Life Club gives us a chance to slow down and reconnect with our creative side, all from the airy rooftop of Runner Up in Collingwood.

Good to know
Written by AI from the event details · Updated 1 month ago

Runner Up’s rooftop has a relaxed, slightly bohemian atmosphere with views across Collingwood’s rooftops and a warm, local crowd. It’s the sort of spot where you can sip a drink, sketch at your own pace and not feel watched, no matter your skill level. The monthly sessions mean regulars and newcomers mix easily, and Jay-Dee Pitcaithly keeps things fresh with new still life setups and guest artists. If you’re looking to try something creative without pressure, this is a welcoming place for absolute beginners and seasoned artists alike. Unlike bigger, rowdier paint-and-sip nights, Still Life Club feels genuinely low-key and focused on the art and the people you meet.

Insider tip
The rooftop can be breezy, so bring a jacket if the weather looks cool.
