Join our weekly community drawing hangout: the Magma Clubhouse cover image

Magma is all about creating great art with your friends and colleagues online. Even when you are on different continents, our collaborative canvas lets you draw together anytime, any place. Now we’re hosting the space for you to meet and draw with new people through our weekly Magma Clubhouse LIVE sessions.

Each week we pick a theme for the canvas and invite our Magma community to join us in filling it while we live stream the whole thing. It’s an opportunity to just hangout. push pixels, and chat about art.

We know that we have a diverse community with varied interests and skill levels. As our Magma Classroom and Clubhouse sessions grow, we’ll be hosting more events to cater to those.

The Magma Clubhouse is hosted by our team members Solomon Blair (3D-specialist, Community and Product development), and Ryan Allan (2D-artist and content creator).

Our Clubhouse sessions are hosted by Ryan Allan and Solomon Blair together with our Magma community

In the beginning, our themes were quite open. Then we started adding color palettes, word prompts, and themes around our favorite entertainment IPs.

So far, our themes have included things like:

  • Panda Power
  • Jungle
  • Star Wars
  • Pixel party
  • Yellow characters
  • MerMay
  • Space Pirate
  • MarchOfRobots
  • Raccoons
  • Spiderman

We’ve had a lot of fun with these sessions and seen more and more people joining along with a regular faces popping in each week. We can have up to 50 friends on the canvas drawing together online from all over the world, and we’d love for you to join us.

You can find the instructions to join the Clubhouse canvas in the description of each live stream, along with some rules to follow to keep the environment fun and safe for work.

Here’s a a look at some of our favorite canvases from past Magma Clubhouse hangouts

The Magma Clubhouse LIVE sessions take place every Wednesday at 11am Central Daylight Time

We’ll occasionally run the Clubhouse on weekends as well to make it easier for our members that are in different time zones or that have work or school commitments during the week.

Be sure to subscribe to the Magma YouTube channel to stay updated, and hit the notification bell so that you don’t miss out on our events.
