TICKET November 13th 7:00-9:00pm ‘TO BE SEEN’ Drawing Sessions Modelling by Robin Brooks

Life drawing is where artists have a chance to draw and practice observation skills in the presence of a live person/model. While traditional life drawing often involves nude models, we encourage our models to present themselves as their truest selves—whether that means wearing cultural regalia, an outfit they don’t feel safe wearing in public, gender-affirming clothing, or anything else that represents who they are. Artists will be tasked with mindfully observing and capturing the model's authenticity in their drawings.

For this session, we invite Robin Brooks (he/him) to be our model! Robin was raised in community and nature and continues to prioritize both. As a queer and expressive man he finds inspiration in the application of logic and unbounded creativity. His passion for mind-body connection and care drives his work, emphasizing the importance of physicality in art and life. Committed to fostering community, he is exploring his relationship with performance, collaboration and perception of self in shared spaces.
