Detroit Queer Sketch Series
Details
Come draw with us! Detroit Queer Sketch Series (DQSS) is a laid-back figure drawing group where LGBTQ+ artists, friends, and allies get together to make art, meet new people, and spend a little time being creative.

Whether you've been drawing for years or haven't picked up a pencil since high school, you're welcome here. There's no pressure to be good at it, no instruction to follow, and no expectations. Just a room full of friendly people making art together.
Each session features a live model with poses ranging from 3 to 30 minutes. Models may pose nude or partially clothed, depending on their comfort. We work with a variety of models and love celebrating different bodies and perspectives through art.
The details:
- When: First Monday and third Thursday of every month
- Time: 6:30–9:30 PM
- Where: Detroit GT Studio, 2301 Wolcott, Ferndale, MI
- Cost: $25 suggested donation, but pay what you can
- Supplies: We've got drawing materials you can use for free, or you're welcome to bring your own
We usually have some snacks around, and you're always welcome to bring something to drink or share with the group.
A lot of what makes DQSS special happens between the sketches. It's the conversations, the friendships, and getting to spend an evening around people you might not have met otherwise.
One important thing: You do need to register through Eventbrite before attending, even if you've already RSVP'd here on Meetup.

Quick tip: Enter 2301 Wolcott directly into your GPS. Searching for the studio by name may take you to the wrong place.
Hope to see you at a session soon!
