Branch Blog - Austin, TX
Mon, July 18, 2016 • PRINCE

Earlier this year, we lost an amazing and influential artist when Prince passed away. Join Coco Lectric and Dr. Sketchy - Austin, Texas as we pay tribute to a legend.


Our model for the evening, Coco Lectric, is a founding member of The Jigglewatts Burlesque (Austin, TX), founder of the Austin Burlesque Alliance, co-producer of the Texas Burlesque Festival and the Headmistress of The Austin Academy of Burlesque. You do not want to miss the chance to draw her and see her honor Prince's legacy through performance.

This will be our first South Austin Dr. Sketchy event! Join us August 7 atThe Golden Goose (2034 S. Lamar Blvd.) for an evening of drawing, drink specials, and fun contests with fabulous prizes from our sponsors. Entrance is $10 cash at the door or $5 with a valid student ID. Please bring your own art supplies & tips for our model.

Sunday, August 7, 6:00-9:00pm
The Golden Goose, 2034 S. Lamar Blvd.

_________________________________________________

Each session of the Austin Dr. Sketchy’s is a life drawing class turned cabaret extravaganza. Attendees draw glamorous underground performers, compete in contests, network with other artists, and win prizes. Austin Sketchy was one of the first branches, founded in 2006.

You are welcome to arrive a bit early to set up. Please, no messy or smelly mediums, and please clean up after yourself.

Our sessions range in themes from Conan the Barbarian to Marie Antoinette. The models are chosen for their looks and talent, and are (un)dressed in spectacular costumes. Expect good music, cocktails (Sunday is all day Happy Hour at Sherlock's!) and (sometimes) burlesque performances, and sporadic wacky contests (best incorporation of cupcakes? best left handed drawing?). Being good at drawing does not matter: this “Anti-Art School” is open to everyone!
