Dr. Sketchy's presents...
The Art Monkeys Ball
In the 1920's, Parisian art students and models overtook the streets in the Bal des Qua't'z'Arts It was a riotous, costumed end-of-the-semester celebration immortalized in Henry and June. The Art Monkey's Ball resurrects the tradition for a new century
The Art Monkey's Ball takes the Dr. Sketchy's cabaret meets art school formula and puts it on overdrive. Artists will gather at The Red Lotus Room, a Brooklyn speakeasy, to draw burlesque queens and aerialists, caged Art Monkeys and dancers covered in little more than paint. Cigarette girls will deal art supplies. Guests will smoke hookah, consume pastel French macarons and absinthe. Mass games of Exquisite Corpse will be played, art students will become models, and the space will be transformed into an installation, with gigantic Molly Crabapple creatures capering over the walls.
The Art Monkey's Ball is a surreal, decadent explosion that will change the way you look at drawing.
For the last five years, Dr. Sketchy's has produced alt. drawing salons in 120 cities, including New York, London, Paris, Tokyo, Sao Paulo and Melbourne, as well as the Museum of Modern Art and The Sydney Museum of Contemporary Art. Dr. Sketchy's is the brainchild of New York artist Molly Crabapple.
