Dr. Sketchy's Baltimore: Life Drawing + Burlesque feat. Aquarius Moon

A livelier life drawing event, Dr. Sketchy’s is where artists of all levels draw fabulous burlesque and variety performers. Enjoy delicious cocktails and compete in zany drawing contests to win free drinks and other awesome prizes! We’ll start off with quick 1- and 2-minute gesture poses and gradually move up to 20-minute sketches. No drawing experience is necessary; just bring your own drawing materials—plus generous cash tips for our model—and join us for some fun figure sketching practice!

We're thrilled to have the gorgeous as our model at our first Friday session at The Green Room in a while! Get to know your March muse:

"Aquarius Moon is an international award-winning performance artist, commercial model, and inclusive choreographer whose presence commands attention on stage and beyond. Originally from Rockville, Maryland, this Somali-Nigerian American powerhouse has graced editorial magazines, digital campaigns, and lifestyle television ads, with a modeling career that seamlessly extends into commercial dance and burlesque. Her dynamic performances have taken her on a two-year burlesque tour across the U.S. and Australia, earning her accolades such as the "Golden Goddess of Burlesque" title and features in the acclaimed documentary JIG SHOW: Harlem in Havana.

"Before stepping into the spotlight, Aquarius was a full-time political advocate, championing disability rights, early childhood education, and universal paid family leave. She is also the visionary behind OK Moves Collective, fostering inclusivity in dance, and Aroma Vibes Co., an organic candle brand dedicated to wellness and sensuality. Whether she’s captivating audiences, creating space for self-expression, or advocating for change, Aquarius Moon is a trailblazer redefining luxury, movement, and empowerment on a global scale."
