Please note: This event is listed as "Femme Fwd."
***Any man purchasing a ticket to this event must be on our Femme Fwd list of approved attendees***

More about Femme Fwd:
Femme Fwd events depend on women to curate our membership. While Femme Fwd events are for all genders, men will need to be sponsored (but not necessarily accompanied) by a woman. This means a man and a woman can come for the first time together (assuming the woman can vouch for his behavior), or a woman can come alone for the first time.
- Women are allowed to sponsor up to three men, who will be added to our Femme Fwd list of approved attendees. These men are not required to attend events with their sponsor. We ask that men do not ask women directly for sponsorship.
(Why? We don’t want women to feel obligated to sponsor anyone, and we don’t want them to feel annoyed by constant requests for sponsorship.)
- Men who have attended a men-only event will be automatically added to the Femme Fwd list. These men may sponsor up to 3 other men if they wish.
- Anyone who doesn’t fit the gender binary, or is concerned that they might present as a gender they do not identify with, may attend whatever event they feel most fits their lived-experience (past or present).

Join Sharon for an afternoon of naked drawing, socializing, and snacks!

No drawing skills are required for this relaxed, social event where attendees take turns drawing and modeling. The host will model for the first set of short poses, and then you can give it a try! There will be a combination of short (1-5 minute) poses and long (10-15 minute) poses, as well as breaks for socializing and snacks--including homemade baked goods. Bring your own art supplies and doodle the day away! Pencil, pen, and even crayons are welcome, but due to space limitations no easels or paint are allowed.

Meet Sharon:
Sharon fell in love with figure drawing through art classes in college, and has since attended many live figure drawing events in Brooklyn. Before long, she became interested in modeling for drawing sessions--but how to gain experience? She started hosting drawing events at home with friends, and soon everyone wanted to give modeling a shot. Sharon's figure drawing events naturally evolved into all-nude drawing sessions where everyone could try modeling and drawing in a low-pressure, relaxed environment (with lots of homemade baked goods).

Just Naked’s Principles - PVC

Participation: We ask that you are fully engaged at our events. Yes, getting naked is an experience in and of itself, but please arrive with curiosity and the energy to participate in the theme of the event. Another facet of participation is arriving with a clear mind. While responsible BYOB is sometimes allowed, visible intoxication is not.

Vulnerability: This Principle arose from the need to clarify the subjectivity of being naked. A woman going topless publicly, however legal it might be, is likely to arouse a negative response from most crowds. For this reason, we accept that a woman’s edge of vulnerability might mean keeping their bottoms on at our events. For men, we invite you to discover your edge of vulnerability in other ways. Perhaps you cross your arms during conversation? Uncross your arms to feel what that’s like. Maybe you’re afraid of looking stupid when you dance? Attend our Movement and Connection event to explore that fear and move beyond it. If you do not identify with the male or female archetypes, or are transitioning gender, please do whatever suits your needs. Our Builders are knowledgeable about these experiences and eager to help you.

Cohesion: For Just Naked, Cohesion means connecting with others in the spirit of openness and respect. When we do this collectively, we create social unity. In this unity, we are most effective at normalizing naked within the local and global communities. Respect means treating others how they would like to be treated. This may be difficult to intuit, so we ask that you familiarize yourself with our full FAQ.
