Model Behavior

An elevated painting experience featuring burlesque and drag performers as the subjects. Enjoy lite bites, tasty cocktails, & good company. You've heard of a drink and draw? A paint and sip? Well throw out those preconceived ideas because MODEL BEHAVIOR takes art and libations to a whole new elevated level. During this time frame attendees will complete an 8x10 painting of live models in a staged set. Except these are no ordinary models - they are drag and burlesque performers, in various degrees of costumed, nude, and made up. This will be a long form pose (the better part of 4 hours), with a brief gesture warmup beforehands. Also attendees will have the professional instruction and guidance of artist MaKenna Mullen to help complete their artworks. Models for our inaugral Model Behavior will be Teehee the Clown and Ashley Magick. In addition, there will be cocktails for purchase from local makers Red Eyed Spirits and small bites for purchase from The Lingerie Chef. Ticket comes with a complimentary glass of bubbly and you're also welcome to BYOB.
