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 became 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.
