We’re building a creative playground for queer artists and allies to come together, make art, and feel right at home.

Detroit Queer Sketch Series is all about good vibes, great art, and awesome people! Come hang out, sketch some amazing models, and take plenty of snack-and-social breaks.

Whether you’re a pro with a pencil or just here for fun, it’s a chill, welcoming space to get creative and connect with the community.

What it’s all about

We warmly welcome artists of all skill levels

We’ve got sketching supplies ready for you, or feel free to bring your favorite tools—pencils, charcoals, paints, or even your iPad.

Art is a space for everyone. Pay what you can and join us in creating a more inclusive community
