When cabaret meets art school...

Dr. Sketchy anti-art school was created in 2005 by Molly Crabapple in NY city.

Extract from the website:

ABOUT DR. SKETCHY'S

How is Dr. Sketchy's different from a normal life drawing class?

In normal life classes, silent students sit in a silent room and draw a bored, oft-uninteresting model. In Dr. Sketchy's we've got scandalous performers as models. We've got ridiculous art contests (best incorporation of a woodland animal? Best imagined costume?), comedic skits good music and flashy prizes. We've got a selection of posh beverages - alcoholic and not - available to buy.

At Dr. Sketchy's, we don't care if you picked up a pad yesterday or 50 years ago. Come to drink or to draw. We're happy to have you.


drinking cocktails, drawing and scandalous performers... count me in!

Somebody told me about it last night at the Spacing launch party. Apparently an event will be hosted in Ottawa in a few weeks.

Allison has one of her drawings framed in her living room. It's the head and torso of the weird guy that kept staring you right in the eyes as you drew his private parts.

This class sounds way better.
