Cat Scratch Art Nights

Cat Scratch Art Nights Art nights for all, with inspiration provided by local models, performers & other characters. Est. in 2013 as Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School Augusta

Hosted at Le Chat Noir Theater in Augusta, Georgia on the last Wednesdays of the month. Burlesque Life Drawing Comes to Augusta! When many artists think “life drawing,” they think of sterile rooms, bad lighting, and bored, silent, models with nary a hint of personality. Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School is here to change all that. Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School is the little New York art event that bec

ame a movement. Started in 2005 by artist Molly Crabapple, the concept is simple. Artist’s draw glamorous burlesque dancers, compete in contests, and win wacky prizes. From it’s humble Brooklyn beginnings, Dr. Sketchy’s now has over 100 branches around the globe, including Los Angeles, London, Rome, Tokyo, and Melbourne. Now, Le Chat Noir is bringing Dr. Sketchy’s to the Downtown area. The monthly sessions will feature burlesque babes, roller derby girls, drag queens and fe**sh models, along with contests, prizes and alcohol galore. Sessions held every last Wednesday of the month. Since it’s inception in 2005, Dr. Sketchy’s has received coverage from the likes of The LA Times, The Washington Post, BBC Radio, NPR, The Village Voice, WNBC, Time Out London, The New York Times and most recently the local paper Metro spirit. Want to model for us? We put all genders, all styles, and all body types on our stage, and if you have a talent to show off our sketchy artists want to see it! Send a message to the page and our Headmistress will get back to you soon to discuss details!

Thank you to all who joined us for May's art night! We were inspired by fantasy RPGs, novels, and movies with looks by our model Jennifer Haggerty, and even made a fantasy map together. See you June 24 at Le Chat Noir for our next one! We'll announce the theme soon.

An iconic fantasy character needs an iconic item, right? Your mission for tomorrow's drawing session is to bring an item that belongs in YOUR expedition pack!

At each art night this year we've had an interactive element for the artists in attendance, and at this month's we'll be making something together that requires well-stocked inventory (no acting required though, we promise 😉).

Join us tomorrow 7-9:30pm at Le Chat Noir for May Art Night | Expedition

Our model for Wednesday's art night is familiar with the fantastical! Jennifer Haggerty will be drawing us into a world of fantasy, inspired by books, video games, and creative characters.

These are just a handful of photo illustrations she's done through the years using her original self portrait photography and costume making skills. You may have already met her through her lens at Atmosphere Augusta, and we're looking forward to hosting her for May's Cat Scratch Art Night at Le Chat Noir
