Dr Sketchy's Anti Art-School
Fabulous Farewells
8pm, Sunday October 2nd
The Menagerie
University Street
Belfast
Dr Sketchy’s celebrates great farewells, from ‘Casablanca’ to ‘Thelma and Louise’, our models will be bringing those final moments from your favourite films to life for your drawing pleasure.
Don't worry if you can't muster up a masterpiece - the main focus is to have fun trying. So if you're looking for something different, Sketchy's is exactly what the doctor ordered. Dr Skethcy's is at The Menagerie, University Street, Belfast. Doors open at 8pm, sketching commences at 8.30pm until roughly 10.30, followed by a selection of tunes until 11.30. Tickets are £5 at the door .
Dr Sketchy's takes 'life' drawing and finally injects some life into it via a heady mishmash of music, burlesque, comedy, performance, silly games and even sillier prizes. Our burlesque stars will be selecting their favourite sketches with prizes generously supplied by Art and Hobby of Victoria Square in Belfast. 
Dr. Sketchy's is what happens when cabaret meets art school. Dr. Sketchy's is the little Brooklyn event that became a movement. Founded in 2005 by artist Molly Crabapple, Dr. Sketchy's asked a simple question: Why can't drawing naked people be sexy? Molly, herself an art student and model, combed New York to find the most beautiful burlesque dancers, the most bizarre circus freaks, and the most rippling hunks of man.
Then she let ordinary members of the public draw them for three hours. Interspersed with posing are comedy skits and ridiculous drawing contests (best left handed drawing? Best incorporation of a woodland animal?) where you can win booze or prizes. Before long, artists across the world wanted in on Molly's evening of decadence.
Starting in Norfolk, Virginia, but soon spreading from Hollywood to London to Melbourne, Dr Sketchy's began popping up across the globe.
