Join Magma on October 26 from 10:30 am to 11:30 am for a special interactive session led by acclaimed artist Jonathan Hardesty, where you’ll get to experience Magma, the collaborative drawing website that’s bringing artists together from around the world. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting, this session will show you how to draw together in real-time on a shared canvas.
Magma is all about connecting artists. It’s a fun, free platform where you can sketch and paint with friends, meet new creatives, and collaborate on projects—no matter where you are. During this live session, Hardesty will lead the group through a collaborative drawing experience, showing how up to 30 artists can work together on a single canvas at once. This isn’t just a demo—it’s your chance to get hands-on, sketch alongside fellow attendees, and explore the creative potential of real-time collaboration.
Participants will have the chance to draw alongside Hardesty and others, demonstrating how Magma is empowering artists to create and connect in ways that go beyond the typical ‘single-player’ experience of digital art.
