Coming Soon to a Drinking Hole Near You...


...if you live in Northampton, MA, that is,

A LOCAL CHAPTER OF DR. SKETCHY'S ANTI-ART SCHOOL, led by muah with more than a little help from my friends. Much more info to come VERY SOON, for now - a crappy iphone picture preview of the first poster in progress (no venue or date set yet).

Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School is a cabaret-inspired monthly figure drawing class, with over 100 chapters across the country and around the world; my local chapter here is simply the newest! (I literally got the license for it today) Figure drawing sessions take place usually in a bar, club, or cafe, with unique folks as models such as burlesque performers, drag kings and queens, performance artists, circus and dance performers, you name it. Dames, drinks and drawing is the mission, and it's some of the most fun I've ever had (visiting the Allston, MA branch) and it will be amazing here in Northampton, where the community is just begging for something like this. I hope to hold the first session in late March or early April, and will post photos from each class as well as info about upcoming events, products, shows, and other great stuff. Please join us of you are over 18 and in the area, the venue and date for the very first event will be up ASAP! Artists both amateur, professional, and simply curious are welcome!

By the way, I'm def seeking models, venues, bands/djs, costumers and set designers, helpers, artists, sponsors, etc. for this awesome project, so if you happen by this baby blog and are in the area, give me a shout! email: drsketchynoha@gmail.com
