Drawing
From the Bellies of Birds, Ink Drawings by Seth Wade
Local artist and educator, Seth Wade, will be exhibiting ink drawings in his solo show, “From the Bellies of Birds”, opening at Dutoit Gallery on October 4th, 2019.
Employing a process that evokes the spirit of Surrealism, Seth’s drawings gradually emerge from scribbles, allowing the composition and subject of each image to present itself rather than being predetermined. This results in drawings that feature shapes, objects, and narratives that retain a sense of mystery, even to the artist himself.
Seth is currently an adjunct professor of drawing at the University of Dayton, where he received his Bachelors of Fine Arts, and also teaches painting at Stiver’s School for the Arts. “From the Bellies of Birds” will be at Dutoit through October.
Burlesque Life Drawing Comes to Dayton
Burlesque Life Drawing Comes to Dayton!
When many artists think “life drawing,” they think of sterile rooms, bad lighting, and bored, silent, models with nary a hint of personality. Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School is here to change all that.
Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School is the little New York art event that became a movement. Started in 2005 by artist Molly Crabapple, the concept is simple: Artists draw glamorous models, compete in contests, and win drinks and prizes. From it’s humble Brooklyn beginnings, Dr. Sketchy’s now has over 100 branches around the globe, including Los Angeles, London, Rome, Tokyo, and Melbourne. Since it’s inception in 2005, Dr. Sketchy’s movement has received cover

These events feature burlesque babes, roller derby girls, belly dancers, drag queens fetish models, and a plethora of other strange lovely people along with contests, prizes and alcohol galore.
Sarah Musick explains: “In a nutshell, Dr. Sketchy is all about creating the perfect fantasy comic book world you’ve been looking for. Therapy Cafe brings you the best cocktails in Dayton while we bring you the inspiration you’ve been looking for. And by inspiration we don’t just mean unique costumes and sets, but also suggestively dressed, gorgeous men and women emanating your favorite stories ready to become your next creation. This month we are honored to introduce her royal majesty, Queen Elisabeth I! She will show you the path to true artistic power… And she will probably do it with a sumptuously pale bosom.”
Sounds like fun!! The next Dr. Sketchy is July 1st at Therapy Cafe from 7-10pm. Tickets are $5 pre-sale, and $7 at the door. For more info: https://www.facebook.com/events/762127940566718/

Dayton Area Residents Can Win Free Electricity for a year!
Paying less for your electric supply is great. Getting it for free is even better.
Duke Energy Retail – a lower-cost, market-priced electricity supplier in the Greater Dayton area – knows how high electric costs can be. To provide relief to four lucky Ohio residents, Duke Energy Retail is launching a new sweepstakes to give away free electricity for a year (a $2,000 value). One winner will be named each season – winter, spring, summer and fall.
“In addition to the sweepstakes, we can help folks in the Dayton area save as much as $250 per year on supply portion of their electric bills just by chosing an alternate electric supplier,” said Duke Energy Retail Manager Kim Vogelgesang. “Paying less for your electric supply is a great thing, and the only thing that could be even better is getting it free for an entire year.”
To enter the sweepstakes, simply visit www.WinFreeEnergy.com, enter information and click on the link in a confirmation email. Up to 10 additional entries can be earned by sharing contest information with friends and family. Entrants will remain eligible for each drawing without the need to reenter each season.
The first winner will be chosen on March 25. Other drawings will take place on June 23, September 24 and December 15. Winners will be notified by email. All Ohio residents who are customers of one of the state’s investor-owned utilities are eligible for the sweepstakes – and do not need to be a Duke Energy Retail customer. For complete rules and details about Duke Energy Retail’s Win Free Energy For A Year Sweepstakes, visit www.WinFreeEnergy.com. The sweepstakes relates to the electric supply portion of the utility bill, not to the delivery charges of the local utility.
