An artistic take on speed dating is helping singles find their match.
Touted as a great way to make friends or meet your next love, Speed Dating Art promises a fun time where attendees will try their hand at still art drawing.
Run by arts organisation Djinda Boodja as part of Mandurah Arts Festival, the workshops will set people up with a potential partner for 10 minutes while they attempt to draw each other.
Director Tabatha Davison believed it was a great alternative to singles events based at pubs or centred around drinking, and was more personal than dating apps.
“I wanted to create something outside of the pubs and taverns, where people who don’t drink or those who don’t want to be around that type of atmosphere could find love too,” she said.
“Plus, it’s something creative. It can be awkward trying to start a conversation with a complete stranger, and doing something helps to give participants a topic, as well as engage them in a collaborative activity.
“That helps when you’re meeting someone new.”
There are two sessions running on October 22, at 10.30am and 1pm, at Frasers Landing Community Centre in Coodanup.
