Join us for an afternoon of lifting up queer bodies with an opportunity to draw with a live model and build community.

This is not a queer only event but it is a queer space and we do seek to highlight queer trans poc and fat bodies! Our ticket price is to cover paying our model for their time! Bring your favorite mediums and surfaces to work on and we’ll see you there!!
