Join us for Q***r Figure Drawing Night! Break out those sketchpads, canvases, brushes, charcoal.. and come draw with us on Tuesday, May 17th from 7-9pm! All levels of experience and mediums are welcome.

RSVP HERE!! : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1EGprZj0HVrgCg_gTCRYLz9hms5vlTpz3KErGERmStIw/viewform?edit_requested=true

Our intention for QFDN is not only to develop foundational drawing skills and gather in community, but also to hold space for reframing body image, autonomy and acceptance. We celebrate the diversity of bodies within our communities, and aim to uplift intergenerational, LGBTQIA+, POC and other marginalized identities.

For COVID safety, we’ll run our air purifier in the space and we ask that all attendees wear masks and social distance as much as possible, with 10 spots available. Complete this form to claim your spot!

We will provide seating and a few tables, and attendees are welcomed to bring easels or anything else to make your drawing experience more comfortable. See you soon ✨
