The Natalia Cola Foundation proudly supports the Royal Academy of Arts’ Drop in and Draw programme. Held on the first Friday of every month, these free workshops give members of the RA’s 25 & Under scheme the opportunity to explore their creativity in a relaxed and welcoming environment, whether they’re picking up a pencil for the first time or developing existing skills.

Led by professional artists, each session guides participants through the RA’s exhibitions or collection, with practical tips and techniques designed to build confidence and develop their skills. All abilities are welcome, with basic materials provided to help ensure the sessions remain open and accessible to as many young people as possible.

At the Natalia Cola Foundation, our dedication to improving access to the arts comes from a belief in the power of culture to bring people together through creativity and conversation. We’re proud to support initiatives like Drop in and Draw, encouraging artistic exploration and making cultural experiences more accessible to all.
