Anti Art School

Many people I know are intimidated by art and "artsy" things.  They view art as something you have to have talent for and art events as highbrow and pretentious.  Well, there is something going on in New York (and many cities across the globe) that will turn those assumptions upside down - Dr. Sketchy's Anti Art School.

Housed at the Bowery Poetry Club (although, formerly at the Slipper Room), Dr. Sketchy's truly is an alternative art making experience.  It is one part cabaret show (warning: there is nudity), one part drawing class and one part an afternoon spent having drinks with friends at a bar.  The class is full of all sorts of people with all sorts of art making skill levels.  You have to bring your own drawing supplies, but anything you have laying around will do!   

The next class is this Sunday, January 30, with a tribute to Neil Gaiman’s Sandman with Stoya as Death, Johnny Blazes as Desire and Tess Aquarium as Delirium.
