About this Event
PAINT THE V: No Shave November
Paint the V is back for its 3rd event—and this time, things are getting a little bushier. 😉
Grab your besties, your partner, or come solo and join Michigan Forensic Examiners on November 12 from 6–8 PM at Old Towne Distillery for a bold, cheeky night where art meets anatomy.
At Paint the V, you’ll create your own interpretation of the vulva—flowers, fruit, abstract art, realistic anatomy, or whatever inspires you. And in honor of No Shave November, creative bushes are highly encouraged. 🌿
Throughout the night, MFE’s forensic nurses will mix in fun educational tidbits and real talk about vulvar anatomy, sexual health, consent, body awareness, and forensic care. We’ll even have anatomy diagrams on the tables so you can put your knowledge to the test!
**Why is this event important? --- Because if we’re uncomfortable understanding our own bodies or even saying the correct words for our anatomy, how can we expect victims of sexual violence to feel comfortable talking about what happened to them?**
No art skills? Perfect. This isn’t about perfection—it’s about expression, connection, education, and having a damn good time while breaking down some stigma.
🍾 Food & Drinks
Old Towne Distillery will have the Wonder Burger food truck and beverages available for purchase, including themed drinks and mocktails.
