You're leaving on a very long trip. Destination unknown. Duration unknown. Company unknown. Weather, anyone's guess.

What are you bringing — and what are you bringing it in? A sensible carry-on? Just a wallet? A hologram contraption that transcends toiletries and rare vintage couture across time and space? Draw your vessel. Any method, any material are welcome. If you feel like shiaring your drawings, Send them in, get started on your first tiny trip- [email protected]

For me, this hotel is the perfect short break, a treat for the soul, and a place to connect even with indoor kids. I love the micro-epics, and quick draws even more.

Rike Gleitze

Stylist

I spend most of my days immersed in film—programming, curating—and somewhere along the way my drawing practice disappeared. Quick Draw brought it back. The prompts do all the heavy lifting—I just show up and draw. It gets me out of my head and back into making something with my hands.

Shaun Inouye

Artistic Director, The Cinematheque

As a sound artist and post-doctoral researcher, my days are spent deep in writing and audio work. Quick Draw has become a vital reset—a place to think differently and step outside my usual process. I didn't expect drawing to feed my other work the way it has, but it definitely carries through into my week. - April 10, 2026

Angus Tarnawsky

Sound Artist, In Context Music

I’m so excited about this! I was just telling my partner about it. It provides the perfect amount of structure for all the things I keep meaning to work into my art practice but don’t often get to. - April 10, 2026
