Kinky Draws

Artist or voyeur – there’s a ‘kink’ in life drawing at the Brunswick Picture House this September!

It’s official – the first Kinky Drawers is on its way. Follow Your Art presents this playful evening, designed for both artists and the artist at heart.

Delight in the rare opportunity to draw multiple models, and experience a contemporary take on this beautiful traditional art form. Expect costume, music, lights, live performance, and play.

Kinky Drawers is for the creative and the curious – interactive, playful, loose, messy, experimental, and unpredictable!

Follow Your Art’s Kathy Toka says she is thrilled to finally bring this to life. ‘It’s been bubbling away for years! It is not a new concept, but it never outdates, and always delivers. I believe it’s important to invest time in creative pursuits and sensory exploration. It’s fun to push your own boundaries and see what gives.’

Brunswick Picture House is proud to partner with Kathy for this exciting event. Chris Chen, co-owner of the Picture House says he can’t wait for Kinky Drawers to make its debut in Bruns. ‘Kathy is family to us here at the Picture House and her weekly life drawing class, Sketch Appeal, has always had its spiritual home here, even while we were closed for renovations. 

‘Kathy absolutely lives and breathes this beautiful art form of life drawing, and we cannot wait for her to finally bring this vibrant idea to life.’

With models and live performances peppered through the night, done with a lot of cheek, a taste of kink and big strokes of beauty – where else would Kinky Drawers make its debut?

Don’t miss this unique night – spaces are limited.

Friday, 15 September 7pm, Brunswick Picture House. Tickets brunswickpicturehouse.com/kinky-drawers-15-sep.
