Sunday evening life drawing with a queer twist — grab a drink, sketch a rotating cast of guest models through their poses, and compete for a bar tab with your best work. Hosted by BrieYOB, it's a low-pressure, high-fun creative hangout at Metropolitan where you don't need any artistic skill, just the willingness to show up, sip, and sketch. No cover.
