Dr Sketchy's Anti-Art School is the perfect antidote to the typical art class. It originated in Brooklyn, NY in December 2005 with 2 fabulous ladies, Molly Crabapple and AV Phibes. Since that time Dr Sketchy’s become a international sensation with the Melbourne chapter going strong since July 2006.

Dr Sketchy's brings you models from Melbourne's very own world of burlesque, circus & dance troupes. It's held on the last Wednesday of every month in comfy, colourful surrounds at Melbourne's most intimate cabaret venue, The Butterfly Club, South Melbourne. If you are interested in livening up your life drawing, entering ridiculous art contests (eg. best incorporation of an underwater creature), & having some fun, visit www.drsketchymelbourne.com for further details. All skill levels welcome!
