NGMA is a goldmine of inspiration. The building itself, with its grand facade, leafy courtyards, and intricate railings, offers endless subjects to be drawn. Some Jammers prefer to sketch in the gardens while others prefer the cafe space. You can sit under a century-old tree in the gardens, capture the colonial arches of the mansion, wander inside to sketch the exhibits, or draw the festivities happening at NGMA during BlrHubba!
Note: While drawing within the gallery is allowed no wet media is allowed inside the galleries

Drawing Bengaluru | Blrhubba
This event is curated by Penciljam for Anubhava Hubba, Blrhubba 2026.
The heart of the Drawing Bengaluru project is Penciljam, a community of Citizen Artists who have gathered every Sunday for the past 16 years to draw our city on location. From bustling markets to quiet colonial-era lanes, our sketchbooks have become an unintentional, yet powerful, record of Bengaluru’s constant transformation.
Penciljam is a project of the Nabachika Foundation, a non-profit with a focus on promoting the Citizen Arts. The foundation conducts events, research and outreach programs designed to increase public interest in the Visual Arts and in Visual-Thinking.
