We started 21 Draw in Sweden in 2013 with the goal of helping everyone become a better artist!
We’re called 21 Draw because when we started we only had a budget to hire 21 artists. However, a huge number of the artists were so enthusiastic about getting involved, so we couldn’t resist adding more, and creating even more products, everything from books to online courses.
Our goal is to work alongside the world’s best artists to help our community and you reach your artistic goals. We want to make amazing art education affordable for everyone.
