Dr. Sketchy is what happens when cabaret meets art school. Since 2006 we've been throwing events that let artists draw glamorous underground performers in an atmosphere of joyful mayhem. Founded in Brooklyn by art activist Molly Crabapple, making plans with local artist Mel Knight from her apartment in New York to bring the event to Melbourne.

Dr. Sketchy has now spread to over 150 cities in the world and changed the way life drawing is done for over 9 years in Melbourne.

Theatre and the visual arts have been separated for too long. We seek to combine them, providing a space for people of all abilities to draw the flourishing alternative performance scene that might otherwise be inaccessible to the lone artist. Melbourne's underground performance scene is an amazing source of inspiration for artists and is the well from which we draw our models, inviting them to our community where we celebrate the fun often left behind as adults in creativity and drawing.

Art brings people together, regardless of age, colour, gender or sexual orientation. We believe in using Dr. Sketchy to bring together the different subcultures of a city to create a community. Artists and art hobbyists of all stripes can attend, performers of all types can pose, local businesses can contribute as sponsors and venues. This bringing together of scenes and crossing of boundaries is essential to what we do.

After a 12-month hiatus this June Dr. Sketchy Melbourne will be rebirthed featuring the extraordinary living puppets of Sex Cake Monster, with performance artist Fox Flueger and the surreal creations of Sex Cake Monster. Breathing new life into the event with the promise of remaining the most entertaining and inclusive life drawing session in town we have teamed up with the wonderfully curious and strange beinArt Gallery.

Ushering in the New Contemporary art movement to Australia, beinArt Gallery are passionate about raising the profiles of Australian artists to an international stage. Aiming to foster a sense of community in which these artists will flourish, beinArt Gallery delights in sharing their work and hope that by viewing the journeys of these artists, those who light upon them will be inspired. Dr. Sketchy has been a boon to the art scene since its inception, promoting creativity and community in every city that runs one. A wildly inclusive event"“ young and old, those who have drawn before, and those who have never picked up a pencil, this is the perfect place to get your fi

ll of drawing fun. Like Kurt Vonnegut said "practising an art, no matter how well or how badly is a way to make your soul grow".
