The Drawing Together Archive

To respond to the cancellation of our 2020 Graphic Medicine conference in Toronto, to combat the social isolation of pandemic-related lockdowns, and to support and promote community, the Graphic Medicine International Cooperative (GMIC) launched a free weekly virtual meet-up called “Drawing Together” on  April 6.

We provided a Zoom link, a topic, and a group facilitator.  Members of the world-wide Graphic Medicine community gathered to draw, support one another, and share. See links below to the first thirteen weekly sessions that ran until June 28. This page will serve as an ongoing archive of our sessions. Our intention is to create video posts to guide you through exercises from all the sessions.


Starting in February 2021, these gatherings are now be held twice monthly. The first will be the second Friday of the month 3pm ET (8pmGMT) and the second on the last Sunday of the month, at 1pmET (6pm GMT).

If you are already on the invitation list from previous sessions, you will automatically receive an invitation to all sessions unless you request to be unsubscribed. If you are not on the invitation list, and want to participate, email MK via her website to be added to the list.

    I was able to start joining the Drawing together program in July with the Listening session. By then the Corona Sequestering had had a very negative impact on my own art practice. I found the communal gathering extremely important. For one thing, by coincidence, if you believe in coincidence, it coincided with a very important personal breakthrough in resolving a troubling breech between me and my daughter. And that resolution had involved LISTENING. From then on I have only missed one time. I am so happy it will be happening more often! It brings people from so many places out of isolation and motivates creativity.
