Drink & Draw: Queer Artist Stories

Queer Artist Stories offers a unique twist on traditional figure drawing sessions. Instead of a passive model, a local queer artist will be posing and sharing their personal story while participants sketch them. The session aims to provide a platform for LGBTQ+ artists to share their compelling narratives.

This event fosters an intimate dialogue between the artists and the attendees. The session will kick off with short warm-up poses before progressing to four 10-minute poses, during which the artist will cover topics such as technique, style, community, and inspiration from a queer perspective.

All skill levels are encouraged to join this special session. Admission includes a complimentary drink and all necessary materials. Members can take advantage of a discount by entering their email address in the promo-code section during checkout.
