About this Event
Whether you’re an experienced artist or simply exploring your creativity, this is your time to unwind, connect, and express yourself through figure drawing with a live-semi-nude model.
This isn’t just about art — it’s about how we choose to see. So often, certain bodies have been hyper-policed, undervalued, or misrepresented.
In this space, we slow down and reclaim the gaze — using creativity to practice care, curiosity, and dignity.
Through intentional observation and freeform sketching, we invite you to see the human form as a vessel of strength, softness, and story — and to notice what it stirs in you.
