Calendar & Upcoming Events

We meet every Tuesday night  I haven't had time in recent months to regularly keep up the calendar, but I assure you that we are meeting every Tuesday night, without fail.

Currently I am hosting Hot Draw! and Slow Draw (the long pose group) on alternate Thursday nights.

All sessions take place at my home/studio at 1229 Folsom St., starting at 6:30pm, unless otherwise noted.  To reserve space, call 415-621-6294 the day of the group that you would like to attend and leave a message letting me know that you are coming.

We encourage ALL our sketchers to join our online gallery.

Spacedog has modeled for both Gay Men's Sketch and Hot Draw!  So maybe a night of bondage. ;)


William Ulrich - in a group show called "Threads"

William Ulrich, one of our sketchers, has an art piece that is based on drawings from our group in a group visual arts exhibition, Threads at SOMArts Gallery, June 7 - July 11, 2009.  This exhibition is hosted by the Queer Cultural Center and is in conjunction with the Queer Arts Festival.  Gallery hours are Tuesday - Friday, 2:00pm - 7:00pm & Saturday 12:00pm - 5:00pm.  Click on the thumbnail below to see a larger image of the piece during development.
