OCTOBER

OCT 11 - Scribble and Scrawl

Where: Outside the State Library of Western Australia

When: Sunday, 11 October 2026

Time: 1:00 pm

Duration: Approximately 2 hours

Who: Everyone.

Join us for our October Scribble & Scrawl, a fun and relaxed afternoon of exploring Perth city through drawing and writing.

We’ll wander from location to location, stopping along the way to scribble, sketch, caffienate and gather inspiration from our lovely city.

Whether you're an illustrator (SCRIBBLER) or an author (SCRAWLER) or just a member who enjoys a little bit of both, this FREE event is for you!

Bring along your favourite sketchbook, notebook, pencils or pens, and let's get creative together.

And a little bonus—public transport is free on Sundays for SmartRider card holders, making it even easier to join us in the city.

Come along, meet fellow SCBWI creatives, explore Perth, and see where your scribbles and scrawls can take you!
