my daughter (19) wants to make friends with other local artists, as in the type who draws/paints, mostly to have someone to talk about drawings and show her own work and generally stay motivated. but we have no idea where to find such people  I know a few ateliers and such but they tend to focus on people doing installation work, performances and such. there's a number of drawing courses and workshops in VHS, museums and the like, and maybe one could make friends in courses [citation needed, it's Germany]—but they're all too expensive for us.

I found an open workshop event this week, it seems to be mostly about crafts but it's free. hope that will help
