Ever wanted to learn to draw?

December 9th, 2008
Author Sarah Jaffe

But were too broke for art school? And you knew those little “free art test!” things were a total scam?

Miss Molly Crabapple, artist of Backstage, among other things, has the cure. Her Dr. Sketchy‘s anti-art school is celebrating its third anniversary in New York City, and you can join the party.
From Molly:

Dr. Sketchy’s is a life drawing class turned burlesque extravaganza. Artists draw glamorous underground performers, compete in contests, and win booze and prizes. From its humble Brooklyn beginnings, it’s spread to 65 cities on five continents- including London, Rome, Tokyo, Paris and Melbourne.

On December 20th, stunning fetish supermodel Darenzia will help us celebrate our third year in existence.. Plus, fine tunes, free cupcakes, booze and fabulous prizes. Hosted by art provacateur Molly Crabapple.

Dr. Sketchy’s 3rd Year Anniversary takes place on
December 20th, 4-7 pm,
at the Slipper Room,
167 Orchard St (corner of Stanton).

You know you want to go. Doesn’t this look like fun?

    The most famous “free art test” thing was for entry into the school that taught Charles M. Schulz. Hard to consider that a “total scam”.

    And they told him that he’d never make it if he kept drawing kids with perfectly round heads.
