Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School Baltimore

When was the last time you’ve sketched anything more then a level 3 process flow on a cocktail napkin during a working lunch? Do you remember a time when «figure study» meant something besides analyzing a budget report?
For all of us Fine Arts majors who ended up as corporate ladder climbing cube-​slaves, there is hope for us (if you’re an arts major that didn’t give up your dreams and are actually in an art related field — you can come too… just don’t sit too close to me, or I may stab you with my #5 pencil) in the form of Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-​Art School in Baltimore!
It’s not really an art school (hence the «anti-​art school» in the title), it’s more like a monthly drink and draw social club with live models in amazing costumes (OK, generally burlesque-​esque costumes… over 21 only please), where for 4 hours, you can sketch away and remember a time when «carpel tunnel» was a disease you got from…“other” activities, not from creating 457 page Board Reports.
Only $ 8 admission, and held at the Wind-​Up Space in Baltimore, there are drink specials, fellow artist wannabes (and actual real-​live breathing artists) to mingle and socialize with.
All you need is to dig out that dusty sketchpad that your cat has been using as a scratching post, and a few pens and pencils (which you can happily «liberate» from your office supply cabinet) and transport yourself back to a time when creating beauty didn’t involve powerpoint presentations.
